Hi
Are you using the same starter motor that came with the engine and what age is the engine?
If you mix an inertia starter motor with a later ring gear, from memory the pitch of the teeth are different.
It's probably not the issue, but I thought I'd ask the question. Mis-matched starter motors and ring gears would give you engine cranking issues.
Cheers, Steve

Steve, just to quickly answer your question I am using an inertia starter motor that came with my original engine, not an original for the year as the car is 1983 but the engine had already been changed, the old starter motor I had I put straight into the new engine so I don't know if there is a difference... What's the best way to find out??? Can you reply to this on my other thread about this issue...

In case anyone sees this thread through google my issue was that I was using an inertia starter motor on a newer pre engaged engine, a change of starter motor sorted it.
