Would you be better off picking up a used starter from a wrecker (or a
good 'rebuilt' off eBay) in order to get you going again sooner? You
could then take your time getting the old one fixed like new (or not). I
guess it depends if you're keeping your Accord until 600,000 miles :-)

They give trouble so rarely.

No sweat! We got my wife's civic and our MG so we be covered.
As we are retired, we need less transport these days.

If I can really replace those contacts and plunger for
thirty bucks, that's a whole lot better than the
(approx) three hundred bucks for a rebuilt starter.

I really appreciate the tip.
