Replacement Starter Motor
Generator Guru says:
Often when your starter motor needs replacing it can be for 1 of 3 reasons:
1) The gears or bearings have broken up in the Starter Motor. This usually is due to old oil in the engine making it harder for the engine to turn over.
2) The brushes within the starter motor have melted due to turning over the starter motor for prolonged periods. Only turn over in 5-second bursts to prevent this from happening.
3) Battery was hooked up incorrectly resulting in damage to the solenoid.
We suggest you service your Generator when you replace the Starter Motor and ensure that the engine will turn smoothly so as not to damage the replacement.
