About 18 months ago I replaced my olde starter with a 'REBUILT' updated 1.5 hp unit (SHOP INSTALLED). Thats after I went thru the typical dead-live starter issues. The problem prompted a new battery, ground stap, cables, various fittings, etc.
In the last several weeks, about once each 3-4 start ups I will get a farrly loud whining, grinding sound on first turn of the ignition. After that it will start effortlessly. Its more common when everything is stone cold. Of course the rebuilt warranty is over!
Its a puzzle to me why this is only an very intermittent issue. When it does start, the bendix and starter motor sound perfect.
So much for rebuilt starters? Complete failure already on the prowl? Can the noise be from a chip in my flywheel?
Thanks
