Re: Starter Issues
Well, if they are a starter place, they would have tested it under load, is that right? Did you ask that? With this much trouble with a simple starter, I would start thinking of other issues than the starter itself. The first one may seem crazy but has happened to me on another vehicle.
1. Hydraulic lock. Water in cylinders causing huge "compression". Serious issue, take plugs out and check. Check oil, check radiator. Probably not that but........
2. Bad battery cables. Clean and inspect
3. Bad ground connection. Clean and inspect at battery and at starter
4. Bad battery. Clean posts
5. Bad battery. Check static Volts 12.6V at rest.
6. Possible relay, if a relay is involved.
7. Something causing motor to be semi seized
8. Connections to solenoid and ignition switch
9. Bad ignition switch
10. Bypass wiring not functioning
11. Starter mis aligned somehow
12. Wrong starter
13. Teeth on flywheel worn/broken, flywheel loose/warped
14. Clutch dragging
15. Starter rebuild company does not know what they are doing
16. Forget the "flat spot" idea. I assume you mean a place on the starter commutator? No such thing.
17. FIRST THING TO DO IS have your battery checked under load. Most FLAPS will do it free. Go to several places. O'Reilly's, Autozone, Walmart, Napa, whatever.
18. Next time is won't rotate or makes a noise, STOP and hook up a jumper cable from another vehicle and try.
19. Report Findings
