The high torque starters are small, lighter, and use less amperage than =
a stock one.  In addition, they turn the motor faster and give you =
better starts.  Plus they are generally high quality for Japanese cars, =
fitted to ours.  That would be my first choice.

=20

The replacement parts made for our cars are often made in China and low =
quality.  So I would say second choice is rebuilt.

Hello folks,

I have had a few MGs including my first car ever - a brand new MG TD.   =
I find that Lucas bits are used on may cars inducing on my current 'in =
progress' chariot.    I am not sure 'new' things these days are as  good =
as 'old' ones  When I took in our clothes washer in to be fixed I asked =
the shop if I should buy a new one from them or recondition the old one. =
 The bloke took me into the back repair area and said 'Look'.  It was =
filed with new machines and no old ones.  He said my 30 year old =
reconditioned washer would last another 30 years but a new one would =
expire pretty soon after its 2 year warranty.  Remembering that our  =
'top of the line' German dish washer has had two service calls in its =
two years I went with reconditioning.   A local bod, who does nothing =
else but starters, alternators, generators, dissembled my sick starter =
and generator in front of me and pointed out the parts that needed =
replacement. On picking the units up a few days latter I was faced with =
a total bill of C$150.    So I will always go with bods that do =
'refurbishing' provided they are a well established shop.   Using 'on =
line' outfits is a lottery call but there some good guys out there.

Now back to the program !

Cheers

I measured the voltage on the posts while cranking =3D 10,5 volts. It is =
on a digital meter, so I wonder if that=E2=80=99s a good value.

The same value is measured on the starter ingoing post.

So no tension loss on the electrical circuits.


Now there is a discussion:

Repair the starter or buy a new one.

High torque starter =3D =E2=82=AC 325,00, which is pricy

Original starter on exchange base =3D =E2=82=AC 200,00

New starter Powerlite =3D =E2=82=AC 239,00

New starter looking like a Lucas (white labelled) =3D =E2=82=AC 135,00

=20

There is a local electrical car parts repair shop, where the alternator =
has been repaired +/- 10 years ago.

They did a good job.

I assume they can fix the starter as well, but what is better =E2=80=93 =
a new one (Angloparts =3D =E2=82=AC 152 or =E2=82=AC 135,00 at =
octagonparts) or have the original repaired=E2=80=A6

Yes, measure the voltage right on the battery posts (adding the two =
voltages together if twin 6v batteries) when cranking, then compare that =
with the voltage at the battery cable stud on the solenoid and starter =
body when cranking.  The difference between the two is what is being =
lost in the connections, a volt or so is normal but it shouldn't be much =
more than that.

=20

If you get much less than 10v at the battery posts then that is the =
problem.

Next job is the slow starter motor.=20

I already cleaned the battery posts clamps and the post of the battery =
to chassis cable.

Also cleaned thoroughly the chassis to engine cable.=20

Nothing helped so far.

So next will be verifying the battery voltage when cranking. I assume it =
will be o.k. as the battery is new.

Following step will be measuring the voltage over the starter motor +12V =
to the engine.

When o.k., the starter is suspect. As it never was overhauled, this is =
logical.

Nice winter job.

Hi all.... My '76B, which was off the road for 5 years, was recently =

I was able to pump out about 2 gallons but am wondering if the interior =
