RE: [DML] Problems Starting My D

["Chris Boden" <cboden@xxxx>]

Not only that, but the starter spins a little AFTER you start the car,
and spinning it backwards won't turn the starter since it's not engaged.
The starter engages the flywheel only under starting, otherwise the gear
on the starter is completely disengaged from the flywheel and no matter
how long you push the car backwards you're not going to move the starter
armature. :)

This is why it makes that horrible noise if you try to "Start" a car
that's already running, it's the small starter gear freaking out against
the edge of the flywheel.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the car starts the starter will have
turned quite a few times , so rolling it back will not get it to exactly the
same spot........
