GT750M starter motor replacement

Post by pennell »

Mine just crapped out after taking it out of winter storage.. Must have been on its last limbs. Any insight on if replacing it is tricky? It seems pretty accessible. Should I get a new starter or just rebuild mine?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

And you are certain it isn't the starter relay that's the problem ?

If at first you don't succeed, just get a bigger hammer !

aha you bring up a very good point that I think is more than likely the culpret. The starter worked great before I stored it.

Check that your brushes are not stuck or broken or worn past limit. According to Motor City PS the brushes are still available for both the Mitsubi and the Nippon Denso starters.
