Hello everyone. My boys starter from his 300 Freestyle has packed it in. Does anyone know of a shop that rebuilds them. I used to use Joe’s Auto Electric on Fort road but they’ve long since closed up shop! Thanks in advance

Well four hours on the phone and internet and I quickly realized these little suckers are like a Unicorn! LOL
Kimpex and other aftermarket manufacturers don’t make one for the 300, the mounts are different. Starter rebuild companies can’t get parts for them so I guess I’m going OEM for $525 and they’re back ordered till May.
Thanks for all the help guys I do appreciate it!!!

Have you tried taking it apart to see whats wrong?
Its easy to do
If it just brushes they are easy to find

I’m surprised they told you that? Had them rebuild lots for me.

Before spending the money on an OEM try Smith Electric on the west end, they have helped me with some oddball stuff.

I did take it apart, figured I’ve done lots of starters replaced brushes etc... Unfortunately the magnets have turned to dust inside casing and there’s no fixing them.
I am dropping it off at Alter Start tomorrow. He wants to take a look at it and see if maybe... just maybe he can work his magic! If he can’t do it I will try Smith Electric.
Again thanks guys!! There’s a reason I’ve been a supporting vendor on this site since it started!!

smith elec is always pretty good with odd units, alter start would be my 2nd place to try
