[Spridgets] Installing new rebuilt starter in Pinky today.

[Linda Grunthaner]

I almost did when I read about it but I got this rebuilt starter from eBay
many months ago.

I finished installing it today (sorry about all my whining)  and made a few
you tubes for everyone's enjoyment. i am so happy to get this done and to
find I "Only" needed the starter. She sounds better than the day I got her
now. She fires up so quickly I feel great. I did not take it out because I
don't know if my original fuel problem is solved yet. For another day. I
also need to find the registration and insurance card.

enjoy the videos.

See my youtubes below.
Finally after months of looking at my new starter I got it in & it fires up
like a new car : )
