I have a customer with a failing Hi-Torque starter. I'm not sure how to advise.
I've never had a problem with a Bosch starter, and I personally have experienced good and bad results (ruined flywheel) with Hi-Torque starters, and honestly don't know how to determine the good from the bad. My personal inclination is toward advising to get a Bosch. He's an hour away so I'm advising he get's a local (to him) shop do the job. I just want to make sure he gets a reliable starter. Please share your real world/practical experience. |

I have a high torque that got kind of intermittently unreliable. I took it apart to figure out what was wrong with it. There was a spring loaded copper contact ring in it that had carbon arc debris or damage. I cleaned it up and its been working fine ever since. Not a very robust design in my opinion...if I didn't already have it I probably wouldn't buy one. The inside of it looked worn and it doesn't have all the much use on it.
