I have a Guardian 55G built by Generac I believe that suddenly developed a horrible grinding noise while starting. I removed the gen set and disassembled it till I could get the starter out. The starter was in good condition the Bendix drive worked as it should but when I bench tested the starter it made the same horrible grinding noises and tried to shake itself out of the test stand. I disassembled the starter and found there to be no bushings in the end caps of the starter. Just steel on aluminum and they were assembled dry. I figured this was cause they were supposed to be a cheap throw away item but the cheapest I can find is a replacement or a bit over $400.
Is there a Generator guru in the house that can lend a bit of advise as to how to get a break on the price? or any suggestion at all :-\
