all you have lost is some time if it does not work vs spending money on something you may not need, plus look at the experience you get.
the rebuilds main purpose is to extend the life of the starter, mainly the solenoid. that contact in there gets SO burned that it will cause intermittent starting or mainly just the "click". the rest just makes sure everythinig is moving freely along with a good clean contact for the brushes.
i did notice my engine was turning over faster after i did this.
