[Spridgets] hi torque starter

[Robert E. Shlafer]

When contacts on he hi-torque starters wear out prematurely (IF this is he case) it MAY be due to a battery which may check out fine under "static" conditions but be weak under a "dynamic" load test (bad cell, etc.).

I believe I have a hi torque starter gone bad.  Yesterday at the OSHIT  
I could not restart the car.  We checked and there is voltage at the  
connections to the starter but it will not turn.

Any way to fix this at home or should I take it to a starter  
rebuilder?  It has had very limited use for the last few years.

Many thanks to Larry Macy, Charlie Braum and Lambert for several  
pushes in the hot PA weather yesterday.

Got the 5 speed installed again a few weeks ago with the help of Frank  
and Kevin.  They also did a fine job of tuning it for me.  So it goes  
fast again but no joy on starting.
