1949 8N, used it most of the day, no problems. The last time I started it, it made a nasty noise on the starter side but it did start. I shut it off, figuring the starter
drive failed., but when I took the starter off it looked OK to me. Is there supposed to be about an inch gap on the end like this? Been a couple years since I replaced it
and I can't remember. I did look at the teeth on the flywheel and they appeared fine too so I put it back together and tried again, it whirs but doesn't engage. I have no
reason to believe the battery is low but it is on the charger now, not taking much juice but I'm stumped. What am I dealing with? Does the drive look OK? What should my
next step be tomorrow?
Thanks in advance.
