starter motors 101.001

101.001 Starter Motors

101.001 a) .....
101.001 b) .....
101.001 c) .... using the motor for too long or attempting too many start cycles without time to cool the starter motor will cause it to over heat. Once the motor has overheated the magnetic strength of the permanent magnets will be diminished resulting in a permanently screwed starter motor. Subsequent starts will draw more current and produce less starting torque, resulting in the motor getting hotter quicker and making it more likely to further damage the magnets eventually turning the motor into an electric heater rather than as a startermotor...
