That is right before it died.
My starter started smoking a little and I noticed it coming out from around the ring cover that covers the brushes.
It finally quit on me and all I get is a high frequency whine sound now.
I took the starter off and removed the cover and sure enough, half a cup of dry, dust crap fell out.
Two of the brush springs are resting on the guide arms and the other two are right there at it. The copper sleeve that the brushes ride on is a little scuffed up too.
Now what? Should I order a starter rebuild kit and replace the brushes or should I just go ahead and order a remanufactured starter?
Also, do you think that now that I have the crud dumped out, could I spray a little wd-40 on the brushes and see if it'll turn with just having it held in the bench vise and hooking jumper cables to it?
