2.25 Diesel starter motor problems
My son's SIII 109 2.25 diesel starter has decided not to work, He is in Kalgoorlie WA and I'm on the East coast.
Sounds like the battery is flat when you kick it over, just a few slow revs and that's it the wiring is getting hot, it's not the battery as he has tried Jump start and replacing with a fully charged battery. Do these starters have problems that I could pass onto him, are they watertight, he just flushed mud and pebbles out of the bellhousing. Do they have any common faults, it was working perfectly one minute and wouldn't start the next, any tips, hints, help appreciated, Regards Frank.
