<p>I've had my generator and starter rebuilt recently by Star Auto Electric: <a href="http://www.starautoelectric.com/">
http://www.starautoelectric.com/</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>The owner, Mike Martinez, knows his stuff and is very responsive and helpful (I had lots of questions). Both ran about $300/ea, which ain't cheap, but given either--esp. the generator--can strand you the peace of mind is worth it to me (I almost bought
a spare generator to take on long road trips, but now feel confident I don't need one). He turned both around in a day or two. I also bought a voltage regulator from him, which he sources from England, because he convinced me the one I bought from Moss a
couple years ago is inadequate (he said some of the repop VRs are not only Chinese-made, but are actually made for tractors, and the guts look flimsy compared to OEM).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>NFI, but tell Mike I sent you ;)<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black">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).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
