Starter Issues (Maybe a solution)

[Jorge]

Hey list. Well yesterday i was experiencing the infamous starter problem.
The starter started turning slower and slower each time until it finally
died. I tried another battery, nothing. I check all the switches and relay
that have to do with starting the car and everything was well. So I decided
to take down the starter. I took it apart and noticed that the yoke and the
armature were full of i guess it's dust from the magnets. So i cleaned them
off with brake cleaner and then i assembled it and tested it out. It started
back up, and up till now no problems. I'll post my impressions again in a
few weeks to see how it's gonna hold. Take care everybody
