'94 XTZ 660 Starter motor hardly turns even without load -- rebuild or replace
Hi!
I own an XTZ 660 with starter motor problems. I have eliminated the following methodically: - Grounds are good
- Power is getting through
- Solenoid is good
- Starter clutch is good
If I take the starter motor cover off and remove the gears between the starter and the crank, I can turn the starter without load. However, even without load, the starter will barely turn at first and then spin up slowly. It is also hard to turn using my fingers. I need advice on which action to take, and/or how to diagnose this further. I recognize my options are: - New starter motor (£350ish + import taxes).
- OEM Brush kit + rebuild (£70ish).
- Wemoto brushes, not sure how many I need, but they're £10 a pop.
- Used starter motor (varies, but seems to be cheap)
- Combination of 4 + 3 or 4 + 2
Any and all help on what to do next is greatly appreciated.
I'll try to make a small video of the problem.
