Volks, My starter on the 90 Carat has been turning slower as of late, such that if the van isn’t driven for 10 days or so it will take a jump to get that last turn on the starter for light-off. I am considering one of those gear-reduction starters that Go-Westy sells; he makes a compelling case for them. Anyone had similar probs that the gear-reduction starter solved?? Any other solutions. I understand all starters are rebuilts now and these can be not near as strong as the new ones were.
