I just removed the starter. I think its good news that it was stuck and to=
ok a hammer to dislodge it. Interestingly enough, in an MGA, with an early=
5 main MGB engine, you have to remove the distributor to get the starter o=
ut. It will not go out under the car.
Its been only a few months since I started and ran the car.

Subject: early 5 main mgb engine/starter
Early 5 main mgb engine in a 58 mga. Received in kit form; been working on=
this thing for 18 months.
I think the conclusion is pretty obvious; just looking for confirmation.
The starter would turn the engine over, then just spin. Wait until it stop=
s, try again. Usually after a few tries the engine would start.
Now it just spins. Was that a sign that the starter was going? Is it now =
gone? And doesn't activate the gear so the engine doesn't turn over?
