2008 Ambassador- Finished Rebuild-Need Starter Motor

[insight3fl]

I have finished a 6 month frame-off restoration and the starter motor died before getting it on the road. Anyone have one to sell or point me in the right direction. Will pay good price if you have one. Thanks!

Was the repair shop you took the starter to unable to fix it?

No.. just got word back.. he took it apart 5 times and got it running for a minute once. Put it on a machine..."Growler?"believes it is shorted in the windings. $50 just to tell me it is dead and of course they could rewind it for $450!...

Could you harvest the windings from a cheap GY6 starter?

Only $450 to rewind the starter? They are all sorts of kindness and generosity for sure.
