own starter recon or put a recon in is the same😀

a recon starter is 1 that they repair and keep. just that u dun need to wait for them to do the repair work on  it.

250 expensive or not hard to judge. because must see how much repair work they done on it. if only replace the bushing  is indeed slightly expensive. but if the center core is replace, is about there. 

Mine used for 14 years so condition should be quite bad. 🤣

Anyway, just want to get it done else have a nagging wife.

Just saw this thread. 

My car cannot start last Monday too. Initially thought it’s the battery but it’s less than a year. Anyway, used the portable jump starter to try also cannot. 

LL call Swift Recovery. The guy came by and used those Dua Mao jumpstarter to try. Managed to get the starter cranking and told me it’s starter problem. 14 years liao, kao pun liao.

Drove to my regular workshop and he recon the starter. Recon is $250 and labour is $180. New Suzuki starter would have cost me $495+GST, that’s just for the part. 

This is starter issue:

 

Starter problem but still could crank??

 

The swift guy used a hammer to give the starter motor a few knock??  

My understanding is if the starter is faulty(no cranking at all ) , even a 100k A jump starter would not be able to crank it.

He managed to start the car with a big ass device. I also not sure leh but he said not battery problem. 

Battery less than a year only.

Maybe it’s a SRD.

It looks like at least 5kg.

FR on new toy Utari 2k 

Since I have taken out the 90AH battery for recharge, decided to try if it would start with a 12V/ 7A Gel battery. 

 

Crank and ignited. Purchase justified!!

if cannot crank u jolt also no use.

most of the time they will take a hammer or a spanner and hit the starter,

when u hit , the carbon and rust drop off, they are more connection then either will have respond, or can start straight away .

(but there are cases where the starter damage too badly, how u hit also no use. )

Yep, I know what you guys meant. It’s either work or don’t work. 

Anyway, just recon it and hope it last till I scrap it next year Dec. 😁

Recon can easily last. Few years not a problem.

Not sure on that. Many sellers out there but mine was rather prompt on delivery. 2 weeks around there.
