Hi Steve
My 63 TR4 also has a starter problem. When I twist the key, about 1 time in
4 the starter will make one revolution and stall, like the battery is going
dead. I release the key and twist it again, and the starter will spin the
engine. The verdict is that one segment of the armature has gone south. I
was looking for an excuse to put in one of those high torque starters.
