In cars, the starter is certainly one of the components whose presence is very important. The car starter is the part that functions to move the car's dynamo so that the car can be started. The starter works basically by using electricity sourced from the car battery. It would be very difficult if suddenly the car starter experiences damage or does not function.

Unlike motorcycles which are generally equipped with a kick starter, if the car starter does not function, you will be confused about how to start the car. Perhaps one solution that can be done on a manual car is to push the car. Pushing the car certainly cannot be done alone, as you need the help of several people to start the car, and this is very troublesome. Is your dynamo starter damaged? Or do you want to prevent it before that happens? 

Causes of Dynamo Starter Damage

Let's find out the causes of dynamo starter damage below:

1. Forcing the Dynamo to Work

One of the possible causes of your dynamo starter being damaged is that you are forcing the dynamo to work even though the engine won't start. Forcing the dynamo to work continuously when the engine won't operate will damage the dynamo starter. Why? Because forcing the dynamo to work will cause it to overheat. The condition of an overheated dynamo has the potential to burn other components in the engine. Give the dynamo some time to cool down for a few minutes, then try again.

2. Starter Dynamo's Carbon Brush is Worn Out

Another reason why your dynamo starter may not function or is damaged is due to the carbon brush in the starter dynamo being worn out. Signs that the starter dynamo is starting to wear out include weakened dynamo rotation and strange noises when starting. So when you feel there is a problem with your starter dynamo, check the carbon brush immediately. If that part is no longer usable, you need to replace it.

3. Battery Issues

The last cause of your car's dynamo starter not functioning may be due to issues with your car's battery. As we know, the car battery is an important part that supports the electrical system in the car. Problems with the car battery can cause the starter in the car dynamo to not function, due to weak electrical supply from the battery to the car dynamo.

When you know that your car battery is having problems but still force it to start the car, this will trigger damage to the starter dynamo. Regularly check the car battery to at least anticipate damage to your car's dynamo starter. Don't let that damage come suddenly, as it will trouble you.

Well, those are the causes of your dynamo starter being damaged. There are many things you can do to prevent your car's starter dynamo from being healthy. Some things you can do include not forcing the starter if it is difficult to start the engine, especially repeatedly and pressing it quickly. Another thing you can do is to routinely check the health of the battery. Always ensure that the battery voltage is in good condition and not weak. Check the carbon brush on the starter dynamo, and replace it immediately if the carbon brush is worn out.
