Rebuild starter

[Flippz]

Is it worth rebuilding the starter on a g16a or should I just buy a new one? I found a place to buy brushes but am not sure that is all that is wrong with it.
When I mash the accel. I hear the solenoid click but the engine will not turn over. If I have the gas pressed and hit the starter motor with a hammer it will then spin for a second that's why I think it is the starter motor

sounds like your brushes are wore out, id try brushes first

I agree with RSP. There is a rebuild kit on E-bay that gets you new brushes and new bearings for around $23 bucks shipped. If you are going to take it apart anyway, I would also replace the bearings (unless the armature is toast). Make sure you clean up the commutator with fine sandpaper before re-assembling. E-bay link is below. Good luck - RAY

Thanks guys. Y'all are great. Ordered the parts will be riding again real soon.

Thanks again for the info on the starter. Got the rebuild kit and installed it today. The bearings were a good idea. Put it back on and was riding by this evening. Now I have to figure out the spark plug issue.

Thanks.

Great to hear it worked out for you. You're really a fast worker (man with a mission). Let us know if you need help with the spark plug issue. RAY

I own a tow company and we are slow right now.

My boot pulls off my plug wire some tires when on switch back hills. I can't get the wire out of the metal part of the igniter. I just put rtv on the wire boot and the wire. Gonna see if that works.

Other wise I am ready for some trails and a lot warmer weather.
