Default starter wiring connection question

I have a 92 accord EX manual tranny. The starter became intermittent on whether it would start or not. I was going to pull it out and replace it but when I went too remove the starter I found that if I push slightly bundle of wires on the bottom that feels like they go from the solenoid to the starter motor it would start fine.

Is it possible to just fix the connection?
seems i rem if you start taking starters apart that crap will fall out and you will never know where it goes.

I remember my civic had a very similar problem. It would start up fine sometimes and then not at all others. it was just a loose connection.

I took starter off it just one large gauge wire going from solenoid to starter motor. I am not sure I can take starter motor apart and try to fix it. I may just replace starter.

There are some places that check, and rebuild starters. You can try there first.

ah i took starter apart couldn't see any loose connections or shorts. The brushes dont look that great either. Im just going to replace the starter. no reason to deal with the time and headache when I can replace for less than 80 bucks
