starter motor issue

sambodisco · May 11, 2009

hi guys just got back from strata, and boy theres a lot of water there, anyways there now seems to be an issue with the starter motor. when i try to turn the engine over the starter motor just clicks. but some times after 2 to 30 attempts it works fine. is there any quick fixes for this or is it just a new starter motor.

blast the starter innards with WD40 and while it's drying make sure yer battery is fully charged

cheers mate, will give it ago in a minute. where will i find the innards ?

innards = insides of the starter, just blast it through any orifice on it you can find

it'll probably have dried out by now

well if water can get in then you should be able to get some WD40 - or get it running and go for a drive to get it dry
