I=92d guess that the field coil in the solenoid had a short to ground, and =
the short circuit current heated the coil insulating material to the point =
of a fire.

Thats the solenoid. I'm pretty sure it fried. Nothing else looks amiss. =
But it could have stuck. No way of knowing

Uh Oh! The smoke came out of the wires! I don=92t want to make fun of the s=

lly, you would think that you would hear that. What condition were the batt=
ery cables in? Did they show signs of overheating?

Subject: [TR] TR6 starter
This is a high torque starter that I just pulled out of my TR6. There was =
a lot of stinky smoke.
Anyone have any idea what caused this? or seen anything like this before? =
It must be about 10 or even 15 years old. No more than 10k miles ago.
I started the car the other day; it was in the mid 20=92s. let it idle for=
probably 10 or 15 minutes. Drove a few miles and smelled it. pulled off =
and popped the hood. Lots of smoke coming out.
Towed it home and ordered a new starter.
