-   Starting System group
-   Listed for 12 fitments across the TD and TAD series

## 🔌 Function

Carries current between the stationary starter wiring and the rotating commutator it rides on.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   The starter turning slowly, or engaging only sometimes
-   A single heavy click with no rotation, worsening as the brushes wear
-   Brush length worn down below the applicable service limit
-   Arcing, burning or heat damage visible at the commutator
-   Carbon dust packed inside the end housing

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Check and if necessary skim the commutator when fitting new brushes - a new brush on a grooved or burnt commutator will not bed properly and the starter will be no better
-   Confirm the battery and main cable condition before stripping the starter, since slow cranking is more often a supply fault than a brush fault
