Hi all, Last night my Midget wouldn't start. Checked the obvious (battery, fuel etc.) and decided to get the RACV (Roadside Assistance) out to help. The mechanic said it was a jammed starter motor an

Hi Steve, Most likely you have a stickey Bendix gear. There is a gear on a spiral splined shaft that, when the starter spins up, is driven along the shaft and engages the ring gear by the inertia of

This reminds me of a college friend's Ford. Its starter motor stuck, and I showed him how to free it by rocking the car back and forth. One night he called me to rescue him and his girl friend from a

Probably the starter bendix gear is jamming into the ring gear teeth, usually indicitive of wear on one or the other, but normally the bendix gear, it being the softer of the two. It's a common probl

K miles? Are those potassium miles? I presume those are different than nitrogen miles. And, BTW, is 2.2 K miles the same as 1 M kilometers? Bob Allen, Kansas City, '69MGCGT -- ** STANDARD DISCLAIMER
