Regreasing starter could use some help
I took the actual starter apart tonight and a powder like substance came out and is this normal? And am i supposed to use an actual grease or is it a grafite type of material. Where am i supposed to pack with grease also. thanks

The powder you mentioned is probably a mixture of dust, dirt, and dried grease that have accumulated over time.

Make sure you clean out the gears before adding new high temp grease.
