Greetings,
Long time lurker, first time poster.
Picked up a nice 8N last week( ex wife ended up with my old one). Seems to only have one problem (fingers crossed).
When I press the starter it engages, then typically cuts out making a high pitched "Whirring" noise.
-Do I have a bad starter?
-If so, would a rebuild kit fix or do I need a new one?
-Or is it something else?
Know this is probably a simple fix but I've got zilch for mechanical knowledge and ability. Didn't buy manual yet either.
SECOND: Seller just changed oil and used Shell Rotella 15W40. Any problem with that? (fwiw, I'm in central PA).
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
