Jim:
I experienced the exact situation you describe. You
hope that it's the starter, even though the back of
your mind thinks that it might be a flywheel problem.
The back of my mind was thankfully wrong. I put in
that new hi-torque starter that was sitting on my
shelf for two years and all was well. Those things
are great by the way.
Good luck,
Joe Merone

Subject: [TR] TR6 starter question
If I get a grind about every tenth time I turn the key
to start and
after a
grind, if I immediately attempt to start again without
moving anything
and
it starts fine, is it safe to assume that the problem
is with my
starter/solenoid instead of flywheel teeth missing?
Wouldn't flywheel
teeth
missing have more of a tendency to grind a few times
in a row until the
flywheel was moved? Thanks, Jim (1974 TR6)
