My starter is spinning up just fine, but is not popping up to align with flywheel. I have lubed the pinion gear as per service manual, still no joy. Anyone have any suggestions?<br /><br />torp
Is your starter turning fast enough? Did you clean the shaft really well and lube it with LIGHT oil? Gunky, heavy grease prevents proper pinion gear functioning.
cleaned it, lubed as per factory service manual. no idea how fast it is supposed to turn...don't have a clamp-on ammeter to check current under load. i took it to starter/generator shop. Gonna charge me $95 for rebuild with 1 year warranty....<br /><br />torp
