This is the start of a failure or just some grime causing it to stick I had
a corsica stick once then never again over the next 3 years, I would say
ride it out a little and see how it goes. If it becomes an issue have it
rebuilt or replace it.

Subject: Stuck starter

Over the weekend the van wouldn't start. Traced it down to a stuck
starter motor. Quick tap with a hammer and it started. Does this mean
the starter is going bad or is there something I can do to prolong its
life?
