With the actual starter motor removed from the nose cone assembly, and the solenoid removed, should the gears in the nose cone assembly turn freely ? Typical tilton / quartermaster type HD starter.
Mine aren't .. and when it's all assembled, the gear doesn't pop out like it should when the starter engages (starter is on test bench, not in car)
Ideas ? When I took the nose cone off, it looks pretty dirty / dusty / corroded in there. Do they typically need cleaning ? It's a pretty old starter, but was working fine last I used it (2 years ago)
If I'm going to clean it, does it need grease in there of some sort ?
Thanks !
