Go to Formula Ford Underground web site. This question has been addressed in
the
archives -- along with a fix.
My suggestion is a Tilton. I have played with the Lucas to point of
frustration. Tilton spins faster and draws less amps -- expecially important at
end of the day when it have to retart and can't get to the auxilary battery.
They give away Lucas starters at FF Underground :-)
Cheers, Barry
