The starter on my C suddenly failed. It turns out there is nothing wrong with the starter motor itself, nor the starter switch. The problem is with the copper "node" that the starter switch contacts to make connection. It is severely worn from years and years of use - to the point where it no longer makes contact when the switch is engaged. Is this part serviceable? It looks like it might be, but I did not spend any time yet looking further into it. I think I could resolve the problem by ROTATING the note 180 degrees actually. (I got around the problem temporarily by removing one of the starter switch mounting screws. This allowed the switch to "skew" when engaged - which allowed the motor to start) Thanks!
