Hi all
Just shelled out for a brand new start motor for my lazy pertol SWB from one of the big mail order firms. The starter motor wasn't packaged that well and when I unwrapped it - the main terminal seemed somewhat woobly. As it was a brand new one, I thought I might just as well give it a whirl.
After fixing it up - looks like the starter motor is knackered. I have definately not over-tightened the main screw as advised, but should have sent it straight back as they probably will not exchange it now.
Has anybody else had a similar problem / experience with starter motors? Pretty hacked-off losing a hundred quid - although they said a technical bloke would call me back.
Interested in any stories / helpful suggestions
Cheers
Simmo
