The starter on the 1855 was dragging and had worn out brushes, been babying it all season. I pulled it off on Monday, brought it to the local rebuilder who had a replacement on the shelf. Asked about a gear reduction one instead and for the same price I walked out with a new one over a rebuilt old style. Installation was no big deal, just needed to lengthen a few wires and use longer bolts.
Man does that wake up the old Ollie! I have to make a new longer cable to the preheat yet, but I don't think I'll need it unless it's REALLY cold. Now I can leave it in the field over night and not worry about it not starting.
