[Healeys] Starters

[Bob Spidell]

Sounds more like a weak battery to me. A 'fully charged' weak/old battery will give those symptoms; usually, starters go intermittent or fail outright. Have you load tested the battery? How old is it? 

It appears you really just want to get a GR starter.

Listers, 

It appears that my starter is slowly dying. It is operating slower and 
slower with a fully charged battery. Nothing seems to effect it, even 
after a long drive, with a hot/warm engine the starter acts the same, 
slower and slower. 

Does it make sense to switch to the gear reduction starter or have this one 
rebuilt, if that will improve performance. 

What has been the experience of those who have made the switch? What 
actually is the benefit of the switch? What sources are there for the 
starter? 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks in advance,
