Recently the started began to act a little erratically. I have a starter off an older BN6. I took it apart and cleaned it up and reassembled it. My plan was to simply install it on my BJ8. I noted that the Lucas number on this started was “ 25521D”. It also has the number M418G under the Lucas number. As well, it appears to be date stamped as 6 58.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I compared this started with the starter off my BJ8. It appeared identical in every respect both internally as well as externally. I then noted the Lucas number on the BJ8 starter as 25578B. It also has M418G stamped under it. The date stamp is 67.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>My question is what is the difference between the 2 starters. I note that Moss sells a starter for #25521D - BN4 thru BT7 and a second starter for #25578B - BJ7 and BJ8.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Victoria British lists one starter for all series of big Healeys. I then went onto several different starter repair company websites and <u>all</u> list only one starter for both numbers 25521D and 25578B.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>So - what is the difference? <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Brian Drab<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
