I take it by carbon you mean the brushes ??? If you try to start the car and you hear a loud click at the starter then you have a bad connection in the starter solenoid. This can be checked in most cases by having someone hold the key in the start position and tapping the starter solenoid with a hammer or long pry bar. If the car starts then the solenoid is bad. It might be better to get the starter replaced. But you can replace just the solenoid.
