from what i've experienced, the majority of the time when the starter goes, its not so much the starter motor itself, but the contacts in the solenoid wear out. Honda's use either Nippon denso (ND) or mitsuba starters. If it's ND, the solenoid cover easily comes apart (3 screws/bolts) then unscrew the contacts. Bring them to a shop like edmonds starters and they can match it up. Might be $20 or so.
If its Mitsuba, then you need to replaced the starter. The last couple of staters i've had to replaced for friends, i just went to Napa. Haven't had any problems with them.
