Indiana_Steve 124 #1 Posted June 21, 2016 WH 953 with a starter generator, seems to turn over slow although always starts. Is this "slowness" normal? Has new battery. I have had WH's in the past but always with the newer starters. I was thinking of rebuilding but wasn't sure if this starter has the bearings at both ends. I see some have a sleeve bearing. I'm not sure part wise if there is a lot of differences between older models with these types of starters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
