Conclusion and end First off a correction on my behalf the starter was not totally rebuilt a year ago, It only had a new solenoid. The started has now ben fully reconditioned........ The guys in the car electrics place said when taken apart it looked as if it had spent most of it's life "underwater"!!!! Full of rust and corrosion Culd add to the theory that my car had some water issues, being that when I started my restoratioin the frame was full of fust around the engine bay. Thanks for evryones help and sugestions, I just need to pick up my starter and put it back in the car.

Even though it was rebuilt recently and 1 year in a starters life is recent. The center rotor get out of balance for several reasons and either drags or hits the outer fields. John Hervey << Last night I removed the starter from the car, and tried to fire it on the workbench, and found the problem, The solenoid will fire, and engages on the starter, however the starter does not turn, I think it's dead. >> To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo com/group/dmcnews Your use of Yahoo!
