   Re: All Ob A Sudden, Starter Motors Is S

   The small starter got weaker and weaker when hot and finally would only work   
   once when cold.  I had to replace it after 6 months.   
      
   I never noticed it when installing but there was an 800 tech support nummer on   
   the small starter.  The guy asked questions about it being grounded, etc.,   
   that made no sense after 6 months of usage.   
      
   I took it back and sure nuff the replacement, while smaller than OEM, was   
   larger than the starter I had bought 6 months earlier.  None of the 3 sizes   
   were geared motors so someone got overly ambitious trying to save money on   
   copper.   
      
   Moral of the story:   
      
   _Always be suspicious of low tech stuff requiring tech support_.
