48 KAISER STARTER REPLACEMENT??
« on: November 21, 2020, 07:12:57 PM »
My starter just stopped working, you can hear it spinning but not turning over the engine.
Having no luck finding a replacement,

Look for a starter rebuild company. I have any and all of my starters done at Finicki in Madison, WI. 608-243-8731

From the description it seems that the Bendix spring has broken and it is not the starter itself.  Take the starter out and you can see the Bendix spring on the back of the starter.  An easy fix.

Thank you.
This will come in handy as I am going to pull it rebuild it myself.
