Good Morning, I have an RDE-18 and want to fix my starter, tool old to be pulling this thing over.
I am pretty knowledgeable, mechanical - done many outboards etc..
This little starter is testing me.
Sometimes with 12v thrown to it, she will spin for a second, then stop and take forever to spin again for 5 seconds.
Had it apart many times, brushes look fine, cleaned contact for brushes, cleaned entire core.
To me it just seems that the 4 springs are very tight, causing too much friction to spin easily.
Any advice as to how to check specific items to fix this.
Thanks in Advance..
