starter concerns
- Thread starter 93hdss
- Start date
I just have to know this....did you used the same starter drive on all of these starters?
I think he already answered that question by evasion
I leave no stone unturned!
The starter drive that contains the clutch is the culprit here and needs to be replaced. You really can't tell by examining them it they are OK. Once the torque of the starter is applied and it engages with the ring gear on the clutch basket, It's a complete different result.
