Just got in from flogging my van through Montana's, Idaho's, some Oregon and​ Washington, too...Lots of washboard, large number of passes, etc... But my first start this morning (Hell's Canyon). the starter seemed to spin free for a fraction of a second before engaging...Second start, same spin up by the motor before it engaged..caused me to go home...my campsites don't often favor bump starts...so home and? Guessing I'll need a replacement... any one brand better for a deisel...(gas really, but same castings. Anyone know that symptom...starter begins by free wheeling for a second before it grabs the gear... thanks |
