90 yj starter
Hey guys,
Seems like my starter motor finally went. Last couple of days, its been
really loud when starting, then tonight it screamed then nothing. seems to
be plenty of juice, but i turn the key and get nothing. gonna put in a new
starter tomorrow. Anybody got any tips or advice? seems pretty
straightforward, but never done it before so any advice would be much
appreciated.
thanks,
jason

Re: 90 yj starter
quick update on the issue,
just checked again, now it seems that when i try and start the jeep, i can
hear what sounds like the starter spiinning, but no cranking of the engine.
i crawled under just to see what kind of tools i would need to get this
thing out, and the top bolt is missing. starter was definitely loose as i
was able to move it a bit, and it seemed to settle into place. anyone know
the size on both bolts that hold it into place? the spinning noise has me
wondering though. any idea out there?
thanks

Re: 90 yj starter
If the bolts are that loose, put some new ones in and try it.
The spinning noise is because the starter is too far from the flywheel
to engage it. Only problem is the noise you heard for the last couple
of days, with the starter loose, you could have stripped some teeth
on the flywheel (bad) or the starter(not so bad) But I would get the
bolts and try it, may be fine
