Sticking starter 1993 850 850 1993

posted by  someone claiming to be Kelvin on  Mon Aug 11 02:49 CST 2008 [RELATED]


Hi folks,

I have a 1993 850 GLT and the starter is starting to "stick" when I am starting (not retracting). This mostly happens only when the engine is cold. Is this the starter or could this be an ignition switch issue?

What should I look for?

Thanks in advance, your help is much appreciated!

It's the starter. The spring probably broke and you will be best off getting a "new" starter. If there are any pick&pulls around you, any 850 starter should work. I would not pay for a new one.

I had my starter stick on after the engine started and it sounded like like a metallic scraping sound. I took it out the from the engine and greased the bendix. Has worked like new since then.
