Starter Question

JerseyCruiser · 07-27-08, 10:43 PM

I just replaced my starter contacts, I had no issues with it but did it as PM as the starter has 123,000 on it. Everything works but while testing it I noticed that if I turn off the engine as soon as it starts I can hear the starter still spinning until it stops. Just to clarify the motor is only spinning after being energized and is not turning or running on battery current. I don't know if it is supposed to do that, but isn't that a sign of something else worn out in the starter not sure because I never took notice.

Thanx
George
