Thread: Replace the starter? Can it be damaged?

Tweet

.....I'm using a starter that was on a car that sat outside for 12 years but it works. Is a starter either good or bad? or is there some in between to it. Meaning if this were YOUR car and YOU wanted it to be dependable would you replace the starter??? THANKS everyone Bill

ps, also if the altenator still charges but it also sat outside for 12 years would you change it??? ;0 Tk's.....

Under normal conditions they are exposed to the elements and my only concern would be if the alternator still spins freely.

.....Alright THANKS, seeing as how I wasn't sure I was just going to get new ones. Daaaa I didn't even think of asking. Wake up Bill ..... You saved me a bunch, Thanks again ..... And it does spin freely.... Bill

Yes, I did. Sorry, I wasn't very clear about that.
