Has anyone had a problem with the starter after a long drive? Driving on a long trip. After second gas stop, all it does is spin. Does not engage and turn over engine?
Will this cure itself when cool? Is that what folks mean by the "dreaded hot start starter issue". Never happened before, but then again, have never driven over 150 miles at a clip. |

Best to pull the starter and have it rebuilt CORRECTLY by a local guy. That way you can control what is fixed.
The remans from Manny Schmoe and Jackoff suck and they only fix what doesn't obviously work and sell them cheap..... they can afford to replace them for the warranty or in some cases lifetime.....but they don't cover labor or towing. Cheap versus reliability...your choice. Another idea is a 911 starter, the SR68X, 1.5hp and a little more robust. OR, the mini starters you see being sold. Some have fitment issues so watch out. |
