My starter failed to turn over a few weeks back. Purchased a new floor button as that was the least expensive fix, and nothing happened.
Took the starter off in anticipation of finding someone to rebuild and just for fun hit the positive from a battery cable on it and it turned. Seemed like the “teeth” were extended out when it would not run. Put it all back together and appears to work, for now. While I had it on the bench, I noticed a brass flap on the top. I can only assume it’s for some sort of oil. If so, could a lack of lube be the reason it failed to turn? I don’t recall reading about this in the manual I have.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks Steve
