Probably the brushes getting worn out in your starter.

Somebody posted a Napa part number that works the same except it's around $25.00. Hang on for a little, whoever knows, I hope, will post it.

I would check fleabay for a deal:

item# 8009598339

I got a Brand New IDM one time for $75. Kind of hard to beat.

Kwik, thanks for the reply. Ill wait a while and see how she goes. I can get a starter from O'Reilly's for $100 (friend price), but I'll give it a while.
