Stuck in Oklahoma

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

05 Chevy Silverado makes one click now
after a few days of sounding like the starter
was dragging really bad.
Pulled the starter off and brushes had lots of
meat on them still. Cleaned everything up
and put it back on and now I just get one
click and then nothing.

Can l repair the solenoid myself? the battery is only a year old terminals are clean. I did smell electrical that was burning inside the starter when I took it apart

yes I tore the starter all the way down and didn't notice one small break in the windings would that be a problem another guy said that it might start if I jumped it is that true

starter and solenoid only start the vehicle correct doesn't keep the vehicle running after it started correct
