I think it defaults as muted but I included sound. Pardon the party music, the construction guys near the parking lot were having a blast today lol. Anyway. It’s been cold as fuck the past couple days and this noise only happens on start after sitting several hours cold. I’m guessing either starter or belts but haven’t gone investigating yet.
The more I hear it the more I’m convinced it’s insufficient fresh lubricant on the mechanical bits of the starter. The belt shenanigan sounds are freshly familiar because it was my first time putting new ones on over the summer, after dropping the engine back in- I was too gentle and didn’t tension them up enough. I cleaned a lot of gunk out of the starter while the engine was out but I don’t think I regreased.
Definitely lubricate just to be safe but also check the battery as kidd is right this is the season.
Do you have a multimeter? If not, harbor freight had them for iirc $8.99 last year, usually don’t recommend them but it’s been a good little backup
I love my multimeter lol
Late response ik but I love mine too they’re so handy
