Starter motor recurring fault
Posted: Sun Apr 11, 2021 4:28 pm
Hi
The starter motor on my plus two failed with just a whirring noise. It had a powerlite lightdweight starter motor fitted from 2016. I thought it was the sprag overunning clutch that had failed. Bought an exact replacement from Paul Mattys, lasted about a month and then had same problem - returned to Paul Mattys 5 weeks ago and still waiting for it to be returned. Does anyone know why this fault should reoccur. Everything on the engine and starter looked and kept fairly clean. Is it possible that the starter cog is not disengaging and needs to be packed out or that the starter is overtightened?
