My starter just went on me today. Its doing the spins fast immediately thing. Where can I order one for a 53 f100 with the 239 flathead in 6 volts? Or is there one that will interchange? Napa does not even show one.

 

sounds like ya broke the spring, call NAPA

 

Well trying to buy a whole starter. Never rebuilt one before.

 

The spring is fairly easy to replace. You remover starter, make sure you hold it together or it's going come apart. Once you have it out there are two bolts that holds the spring collars to the shaft. Breaking the spring is common and good parts store like NAPA should have them. When you go in go for the oldest guy behind the counter, the young one won't have any idea of what you're looking for.
