Starter

Post by Subtle »

Most of the time the twgn starter turns the engine over with no fuss.

I've had it for 3+ years and it has about 170k miles, and lately it will almost stop turning before resuming its usual cranking speed. The occurance may be increasing.

Battery is good --is it getting time to replace the starter--and if so, where is the best price :?:
