Starter motor.

Hi all,

Have refurbed my starter motor (wasn't retracting cleanly) now it cranks too slowly (battery fine), any ideas?

Thanks

Richard

If you haven't touched anything else then it will be either a bad connection on the starter, or an internal problem with it.

A poor engine earth can cause it, but if it was OK before and you haven't touched it then there's nor reason for it to be causing a problem now, but you can eliminate it by putting a jump lead between the engine and a good earth on the base unit.
 
Did you replace the brush springs? I had a generator and a starter motor both rebuild by an auto electrician. The electrician did not replace the brush springs. I replaced the brush springs myself, and both were brought back to proper function.
