Used
starter motors are ghastly beasts! We've been asked about
these by some of you trying to keep your costs down so we'll
do this until the grief outweighs the benefits.
These
are NOT starters from our core return pile. These were
pulled off of roadsters that were parted out ostensibly for
other reasons than a bad starter. The only thing we can say
about them is that we put 12 volts to them while they were
mounted to an engine, and they turned the engine over.
Whether they will survive being carried from the shop to the
warehouse I don't know. They have absolutely no guarantee,
warranty, whatever, of ANY kind, other than they will be
excellent for use holding a tarp down. They may function
.0001 seconds or 10 years, all I can say is they functioned
OK when I tried them on our test engine.
They
usually are filthy, rusty, corroded, discolored, greasy and
half full of oil as they usually were during use. I wouldn't
even bother to put a used starter on an engine, what with
the hassle of the job. Of course that's partly due to the
fact that I have lost the use of my younger proteges (who
got smart and left) and I'd have to do the job
MYSELF.
Although
we've tested these on an engine, we are so sure you'll be
discouraged when you look at one of these, we aren't even
taking charge cards for them. Only cash on the barrel head
will be accepted (OK, checks and money orders).
Don't
delay, our scrap metal guy keeps eyeballing
these...
We
will only ship one of these within the '48
states.
So...is
this the most discouraging advertisement you've ever seen? I
hope so! Buy a nice NEW or REBUILT one! (or one of
these...)
