[HAM] Starter motor of my C3 is getting kind of "tired"

[David Anderson]

Try pushing the gear on the generator shaft towards the generator and  
put a little tone generator oil directly on shaft the gear slides  
back and forth on. Then move it back and forth a few times. Try a  
little direct oiling of the motor, too. If the motor is engaging but  
is having a hard time turning the generator, your generator may be in  
serious need of oiling. The motor itself doesn't get "tired."
