Not lately, but my Mustang is definitely a persnickety, cantankerous female. And while she looks good with upgrades, she does NOT like to give up her parts!Moto-Kraft tough to beat many stock pieces.
Greg...BFS!! You been working on heavy equipment?
high torque electrical motors can get just a tad out of alignment and then when it tries to kick the motor it will bind up and. With starters its so common that I have seen rebuild versions fresh out of the box that have dents in the case. All it tells us is that the starter is going out and will need to be replaced.Although, what really is the point to rapping it and it works? One time for a new tight mechanism? Isn't that side of the road get it home stuff?
Lol.just thump the belhousing a little harder if you can reach the starter. I am not sure you can call yourself a mechanic till you repair a starter with a mallet.
Really? We’ll that’s something else I can try to, Autozone starters are cheap.The PA starters are craptacular worthless junk . i have had to send a couple of them back in a box in pieces
Right on, that's so cool. Keep encouraging that interest in her. Some women really bloom in a mechanics atmosphere once they've been bitten by that gearhead bug.Cool story Greg. Sounds like my son's wife. She hung out with us in the garage and helped when we rebuilt the engine for her Camaro.
Also a good tip, thanks. I haven’t a chance to touch it in a few since the holidays. Will play with it this week.you also need to know , that some of those cool aftermarket starters have to be shimmed fly wheel to starter gear clearance
