Big Red starter

[rjh]

is the starter for a 1985 Big Red ATC250ES something that can be rebuilt? Or can you buy a reman from somewhere? I would even be interested in a working used starter.

E-bay !

usually a few on there.

the brushes on some models can be replaced as long as the coil is ok .

There is a local guy for me who rebuilds alternators and starters. He rebuilt my big red starter (new brushes and trued up the armature in a lathe). Probably someone in your area rebuilds alternators - call them up and ask them. He charged me $40.

Well you have to put in perspective that you can get a brand new one for around 100$ So you have to weigh the cost verse rebuilding. Like stated above, ebay is the place to go..........peace

what does it mean if a starter turns slow? i put in a new battery and hooked jumper cables to it from my car and it still turns slow. to slow to fire it up.

A very poor connection somewhere.

It could be draging. If you dont know someone who knows how to do it, buy a new one. It isnt worth the money and trouble. Dad can do mine so It will only cost about $8. :D

i had the nose cone bearing go out in my 250es starter. honda don't have them any more so i went to a bearing dealer ( buddy bearing - nation wide )
and they took the mesurements from my old one and got one that was very close to the oem one. 3 years later it's still cranking over fine. that was a 9 dollars part.
