this starter?

Phone number looks like they are not linked to a starter business anymore.  It was a nice little starter.

Battery is good.
Battery cable and connection to solenoid is good.
Solenoid is good.
Solenoid connection to Starter cable is good.
Starter cable was good.
Connection to starter and jumper good.

With direct power to the starter, the pinion will extend, and either no spin, or rarely a weak short spin.


I would much rather rebuild it than grab a remanufactured stock one or spend a few hundred on a new mini-starter.

I am planning on selling it to make garage space shortly, and of course it quit starting.

PhotoBucket pictures don't come through for anyone that does not have a subscription, like myself.
Usually by the time you get all the pieces for a rebuild kit, you have paid for a rebuilt starting motor that's tested and with warranty:

That’s true from a great price on a rebuild.

But I like those little mini starters a lot better than the stock ones
