G'day,
My good old enertia started motor is starting to give some grief. Found the backing plate was a little loose, only moved a mm or so, but was enough for the solanoid to just click and nothing at the starter. When I pulled the cover off, the brushes are quite worn and the stator has a fair bit of play in the end bush. The teeth on the starter are 3 or 4mm shorter and looking a little worse for wear.
I bought this new 20 odd yrs ago and it's driven 2 engine builds, so am really happy how its performed for me till now.
Re assembled and tightened it all up and works great again, but for how long?
Its a 1981 A+ box coupled to a 1275 motor, LCB extractors, HIF44, lightened fly wheel etc. Not a race car, but is an everyday driver ( well most days anyway ).
Just after some advice and experiences people have had with some of the newer pre engaged starters.
Like high torque, pro's/ cons? Needed?.
Have you had any problems fitting them?.
Are there any distinct advantages compared the original inertia type?
Different Brands or types?
I'm tending to want to go with one, but would like to know how others have found them before I order one.
Thanks
