Bad starter 03 RX-1

[Silver]

03 Rx-1 barely rolls over brand new battery.It will crank but very slowly acts like starter is dragging hard.Any problems with the starters going bad.Anyone else with similar problem.Thanks

Try maybe charging the battery at 2 amps for 10-15 hours first. If that doesn't work, jump it to your car to find out that the new battery is defective.

It will start and run just cranks over really slow ,even with new battery.I'm going to take my battery out of my Warrior and test it .

Same problem here! I´ve charged the battery every month and let the engine run for five minutes.Now it barelly cranks over,not even with a fresh battery.12,9 volts, AND a warm engine.

Any maintance on the starter that I missed?

clean all your cable connections,check your grounds.

Well, as an electrical dude, my comment would be that the motor may have a permanent magnet for a field. After a few years, months whatever, if the magnet gets weak, the starter power diminishes. I would take an ohmeter reading of the starter to see what the reading is and compare to a good one although it will be very low resistance anyway. Next I would clean the commutator and check that a brush isn't hung up or worn out. Lastly I may be inclined to megger it at a lower voltage (300) to check for grounds or a shorted winding.

Or maybe these starters are throw away and you can't maintain them at all.
