When it"s not working no turn uver, no click, buzznothing. If contact is made it turns over & is running instantly. Yup. gettin real fast at removal   [Reply]  [No Email]

Put on 2 -5/16 nuts to hold it together and then use a wire brush etc to clean the starter up real good then do the same to the block where it mounts. Sounds like a poor ground and by taking it off and then back on you move some rust so it makes good contact then the next time no go since it has had time for condensation to rust it again   [Reply]  [No Email]

Perhaps you've gotten real good at the removal/installation, but there's something simpler than that. The ground connection is a good thing to wire brush until both surfaces are shiny. Also all the electrical connections. If it spins without cranking the engine, you might have a dirty shaft where the bendix thing slides. Doesn't sound like ring gear problem or anything on the engine side from what you described. Tell us more and someone will save you from that!!!   [Reply]  [No Email]
