[Healeys] Starter

Hi Bob,


Did you have your starter rebuilt locally or is there a company that specializes in AH starter rebuilds?

I took the advice of several on the List and Forum, and had the starter for my BJ8 overhauled.  I installed it and gave it a whirl; I was caught off guard at how fast the engine turned over and fired-up, and over-revved the engine for a couple seconds.  I won't say it was as fast as a geared starter, but it spun the engine plenty fast, and much faster than I recall it ever working.  All this time--over 30 years' ownership of this car--I just assumed that Lucas starters sounded like it was all they could do to crank with the 'rnh-rnh-rnh' sound; like the starters on most piston aircraft engines I've flown (most of these planes were seriously under-batteried).



Thanks to all who provided advice.   Now, I gotta get the starter on the BN2 done.



Bob
