<div class="yiv6977398003MsoNormal">This is a high torque starter that I just pulled out of my TR6. There was a lot of stinky smoke.</div>
<div class="yiv6977398003MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="yiv6977398003MsoNormal">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.</div>

<div class="yiv6977398003MsoNormal">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.</div>
