Hey guys
I've been having some problems with my 83 rex starter i guess. when ever its cold and has been siting for more than 4 hours, when i try to crank the engine, i can hear the starter motor, but its not turning the engine, and nothing happens, so i retry and retry and retry a few times till i hear a angry grinding sound and then after a few attempts it turns over and starts up right away. I was wondering if anyone has experienced this and if there is a quick fix?

Thanks in advance - Matt

 

Starter solenoid.

how much $/ how much work/how difficult?

 

how much $/How much work/How much time?

 

if you want i got an old starter laying around, my didnt start for a while, so i bought a different starter for it, and it turned out to just be the pos. bat cable was almost corroded through, so i just cut a little more wire off and she fired right up, so if you want the other starter i have, it cracks like new, and i have never actaully had any problems iwht the starter itself. just pm me or something

 

Start with connections....but if it is spinning fast but not engaging, I'm thinking solenoid also...

 

its not much money time or work, i think i got my starter out in about 15 mins, and a used starter isnt much, and its not hard to do at all, just remember to unhook the battery.
