| Chipped teeth. |

OK, I gotta prob with a starter. I replaced my original starter a couple of years ago. Apparently I got one that's set up for a flexplate with a different tooth count than mine (it grinds on it's way 'round). Is there a way to tell which starter I've got by the numbers? I never noticed until after I rebuilt the carb and the car wouldn't start on the first .005 seconds, like before. Great rebuild, huh? I looked at the teeth today and the starter gear is a little chewed on the outer ends (closest to the end I'm looking at).
Also, I found that the upper bolt was loose. Could this have caused the starter to not engage? It would still grind but it might turn over, at least. I looked at the flexplate and it looks OK. I didn't have time to turn the engine over or pull the cover on bottom so I don't know if it's OK all the way around. I do know that the last time I tried to start the engine before I pulled the heads it would only grind, so I assume it's at a "bad spot".
Kind of a long post so if you need more details just ask. I hope this is easier to fix than it seems. |
