Yorktown, site of the decisive battle of the Revolutionary War! Wish I could join you. Stuart -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of Dennis Jowell Sent: Friday, October 21, 2016 3:53 PM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: : Gowesty starter problems Finally an UPDATE on my Gowesty starter. The starter was bad and confirmed by Gowesty. I did purchase a new one for the $323 including shipping. Then sent the old starter to Gowesty with an RI # authorization. They promptly credited my account/credit card for the $323. Great customer service from them. Westy is now starting perfect. In a few weeks we will be heading down to Virginia for a learning historical trip to Yorktown. Hopefully a few camp sites will still be open. Thanks again for all the help. Dennis J.

Is this typical of this type a starter? For a while I noticed that the brushes get stuck then I'll tap the starter and it would turn over, now that wont work anymore. 12.5 volts a starter. Connections are clean + light application of dielectric grease. Is there a better starter out there? Gowesty wants $299 for a new one. I have no idea as far as a warranty. Will call them tomorrow. > My Westy is running great except now for the starter. > > Dennis Jowell > Scotch Hollow Farm > Newbury, Vermont > |
