Replace the starter contacts or take your starter to an auto electric shop and have it fixed.

 

Or go to Checker, Advance, Shucks, Napa, etc and get a reman one.

Watch your oil pressure and buy an extra pump - you'll need it if you want to keep that JY engine on the road.

starters are not hard to repair, IF you can get ahold of the parts. you can check online at http://www.thepartsbin.com or http://www.rockautoparts.com or probably find a couple of other chains with stores near you..

 

BUT if you are buying a rebuilt starter you are buying a starter that someone in a factory in taiwan, or mexico, or wherever has taken apart and done EXACTLY what you can do, for less, if you can buy the brushes and bearings and solenoid parts.. PROVIDING the hard parts of your starter are OK. but its not hard to do, and its REALLY not hard to take the thing apart and see whats wrong with it... almost as easy to put it back together to return for a core exchange if you decide not to.. but if you never take one apart you'll never even know whats involved.

 

just my two cents, i dunno how much a justy starter might run, but i cant imagine they sell a great deal of them... and that usually means $$$$.
