WD45 starter locking up

Every once in a while the starter on my WD 45 locks up. When I pull the starter rod I hear a clunk. Sometimes I can get it loose with the hand crank but most often I have to partially remove the starter. It has been converted to 12V. the bendix spring is intact, and the teeth on the starter and flywheel appear to be in good shape. Any suggestions?

Thanks

The starter gear and the flywheel sound like it might not be meshing to tight. I had the same problem; I had to put some shims on my to get them meshing correctly. Not sure how much I used.

Clean the battery terminals and posts. Remove the terminal ends to the battery cables and clean. Check the battery voltage for a weak battery or bad cell. If that doesn't help then it's time to pull the starter apart. You can replace the brushes and contacts yourself. If the armature is worn, have the starter professional repaired. $60.00 each to have my last two starters repaired.
