The DIY Fix: Carbon Brushes for Starters & Generators
You often don't need to replace your entire expensive starter or generator—usually, it's just the Brushes that are worn out. These carbon blocks transfer electricity to the spinning armature. When they wear down, contact is lost, and the unit dies.
