We have this on our ride on mower, lately starting (cranking) has been very hit and miss.
Initially I thought it must be the battery as it was about 8 years old, but a new battery does not seemed to have resolved the problem.
With the power cable disconnected from the starter motor, I get a full 11.8v when I turn the key to start. But the starter motor just growls or barely turns the motor.
50% of the time it will work just fine, but it tends to be getting worse.
Is the starter motor (realistically) serviceable? or should I just plan on getting another?
PS. I just ran a Jumper cable from the battery + direct to the starter motor, Still no joy:-(
