The issue of slipping starters is covered in the manual , p39, !
Not in my manual, it isn’t. But on page TWENTY nine it lists the same info you’ve mentioned, and I had already read that.
I stated that I’d read references to the procedure, but that I didn’t know how to go about it, right? That’s because for someone new to the issue like myself it seems like the O-ring is not visible. I looked. I looked again. Nada. I know what O-rings are and have for 50 years, but don’t know how to clean something I can’t see. I don’t know if it is deeply recessed of just barely out of sight. I don’t know if the starter housing needs to be removed for access, and if so I don’t know how to go about that without screwing something up. I don’t even know what else I don’t know.
If you’d like to contribute without further sarcasm or derision, I’d be grateful.
