Went on a rampage today, was super nice out and its been a while since I had some uninterrupted shop time, so was enjoying it.
Had the motor sitting out of the unit and the starter was just sitting there staring at me. So cleaned it up a bit.
What do you guys use on the bendix (if I used the correct term?). I cleaned it up and put some dry graphite on it. It was sticking previous. Now... not. (my dad always told me not to put grease or oil on the bendix, would just attract dust and cause it to stick).
(first pic is with it stuck out... doesnt retract under its own spring pressure). Then one of brushes. Look good.
I didnt know UTC ever made auto parts, learn something new every day.
