Hi,
i went to start my truck this weekend and when i put the electric starter into the socket it spun freely. i tried a few more times and sometimes the motor would spin and most times spun free. i pulled the exhaust and tried again and now the motor spins until i cover the exhaust port. it seems that once there is some resistance something in the starter starts slipping. i took the starter shaft and motor side cover out of the motor to see and i don't see any problems.
this is also the first time i saw how these starters work. by hand, i can't get it to slip, but reassembled, it slips.
this is a knock off of the LST i was told.
any ideas ? tips, tricks, hammer ?
thanks
Dave
