Probably caused by brushes not been replaced in time. You can sometimes
find ones on eBay.co.uk: see eBay Item: 203059655556. This could well be
the one you are looking for. You can find the correct number in the old
Lucas books.

Can't speak to the gear reduction units.<br>
Long ago, usually because original parts were not available,
old timers would try other British parts on our Austin Healeys
to keep those $300-$700 cars on the road. With some work a
Lucas starter from a Jaguar (in this case part number 26183B,
pretty sure its from a Jag MK2, will fit in a six cylinder AH.
Fit issue is between the starter case and the engine block.
Some grinding or file work required. Anyway these starters are
a bit more stout and will spin the AH easily. I don't have the
specs on both starters but every thing seems to be bigger in
the Jag unit. As stated by others a stock starter will do the
job if its in good nick but how much regular maintenance gets
done on a starter. Just another piece of, perhaps, useless
info. <br>

Subject: [Healeys] Replacing the starter with a gear reduction
starter<br>
<br>
You may remember I mentioned my BJ8 would not start after a
run because of overheating. the engine did turn over with a
wrench, and 50 amp on the starter made it only moan. So I
will replace the starter. Many of you have recommended a gear
reduction starter which is available from Moss and others.Â
What source do you recomend.? Also, I see it shows an
additional bulge which must be the gears. Will it fit into my
BJ8 engine compartment without having to remove the engine?Â
As it is I will have to take out the tunnel to get to the
starter bolts.<br>
<br>
Another item I should have replaced when I rebuilt the engine
was the oil pump. When the engine is hot the oil pressure
drops to less that 20 psi at idle. This engine was rebuilt
with only 20 over and is using the same cam etc. what oil
pump should i install and is the Moss pump a reasonable
replacement?<br>
Regards,<br>
Bob Begani<br>
