Weak stock starter. By Dave Shoe - 10/28/2002 9:36:24 AM; IP 67.4.129.64 You didn't mention the engine specs, but it's likely the starter just ain't got the guts to spin the engine. It's possible you're using wimpy battery cables (all insulation and no wire), or possibly have an aged battery which is the source of the problem. The starter relay is also a possibility. The most likely scenario is the starter offers insufficient torque. I've delt with this problem on the past half dozen starters, because I tend to run a stout, but street quiet, FE. The answer is to get a ministarter. This not only offers more torque for starting, but it weighs less. There are a number of brands out there which work well. Shoe.

This thread, so far...
