If you sprayed water on the starter, it's no good. They shouldn't heat up like that. I always keep the reciept on rebuilt parts. It's awful how they say this stuff is "rebuilt", it's "cleaned up and painted " and re-sold, I swear!

Today I Put Another Napa Rebuilt Starter On.cut A Big Load Of Green Oak Firewood And The Truck Started Fine.brought The Wood Home And Unloaded And Later Went To The Store For A Six Pack Of Beverages.b-sed With A Few Friends And Ten Minutes Same Problem .the Engine Would Barely Turn Over .luckily I Was Parked On A Hill.the Starter I Got Today Had A 3 Yr. Warranty.for 8 More Bucks I Could Have Got One With Lifetime Warranty But As Luck Would Have It They Did Not Have It In Stock.he Said He Could Have It Monday But I Needed The Truck Today.where Can You Buy A Brand New Starter From?napa Cannot Get Them.think I Will Put A Hand Crank On It. That Is More Reliable Than The Hillside Starter That I Now Have .any Suggestions Greatly Appreciated.

What about cables? Seems to me that if you've got just a little drag in a starter from it being too hot that perhaps bad cables would create enough resistance to keep things from turning over fast enough.

Mark, Maybe Neal is on to something. Sometimes cables get corrosion in the middle that isn't easily seen and can be a problem.
