sabi ng electrician is starter na daw may sira, nilinisan and nagpalit lang ng carbon, ok na ulit. (P450 labor, P250 1set carbon)

funny thing is nung ginamitan ko ng ibang batt the first time hindi nag start, ok naman, kaya akala ko batt/alternator prob. Hays.
did the starter engage, i.e., did the starter solenoid function? this solenoid is more sensitive to low batt than the brushes...
sometimes, the solenoid gives warning signs before it completely bogs down..
