Starting the 1.8L Sport!

[fixkick]

Thanks and yes, and brush kits can be bought.
in the old cars books, they taught how to repair starter, in 40 /50s, and 60s, even suzuki sells them.(sub parts)
and told how to replace a solenoid. (brushes and sols are like the most causes)
today , they just kick starter to curb, due to crazy labor costs.
a rebuilt starter can be had for $100 or so, even with life time guarantee,

one time long ago, no brushes, so we stole the carbon rod out of this huge carbon battery, (used in huge lanterns)
stripped, the cell to the carbon rod, and then filed it square and bam , car starts. (then later bought the real thing, rescued)
way far , into the woods, no stores for 100 miles or more...
