Starter Problem

chipMember

I have had the same "hot start" problem as all. I replaced my starter last year with a high torque starter from PE that never really seemed to fix the problem. It did spin the engine faster, but was still dragging when hot, sometimes taking several trues to start.

Today after running for about 2 hours, I got the same dragging and finally smelled something. After that, only a click and had to push start to get into the garage. It started right up. Pulled the starter and expected to smell burnt, which it did not. However, while there was no smell, the were bronze metal shavings on the inside of the housing. Where would this be from?

Is there a better gear reduction starter to replace this with? Also, should I replace the seleniod also since the strater did not smell burnt?

Thanks in advance.
