Mo betta, take the starter apart, blow out all the accumulated dust and
dirt, wipe out all the old grease, flush it even cleaner with a water
spray, set it aside to dry. While it's drying, check the brushes, and
lightly clean the commutator with some emery cloth. Finally, oil the
bearings and Bendix, grease the Bendix lever, and put it back together.
