[TR] TR6 starter

[DAVID MASSEY]

 It probably failed to disengage once the engine started.  That could be a fault with the keyswitch.  I know mine hangs up when cold, too.

There was a lot of stinky smoke.  Anyone have any idea what caused this?  or seen anything like this before?  It must be about 10 or even 15 years old.  No more than 10k miles ago.  I started the car the other day; it was in the mid 20’s.  let it idle for probably 10 or 15 minutes.  Drove a few miles and smelled it.  pulled off and popped the hood.  Lots of smoke coming out.  Towed it home and ordered a new starter.
