Thanks everyone for the starter advice.
Normally I'd be ok with replacing the brushes. But this starter seems liek It's
pretty cooked. Looking kind of coroded, terminal bolts rusted. I think I should
have the local shop rebuild, they say it'll be $22 plus parts. Or I can get 1
from thepartsbin.com for $109 rebuilt. Autozone was charging $150 last I
checked.
