So what's the deal with gear reduction starters. I'm about to chuck my third one in three years. Does someone make a better one, or are they a yearly recycle item. == unsubscribe/change address reque

Like Joe A., I got mine in the TR4 from Ted S., and it's been in the car for years and years with never a single issue. It's about the only truely "no issue" item on the whole race car! John Houlton

I've got 6 seasons on mine, and I use it (typically) 10-12 times per event day, more if I have a co-driver. But I'm an autocrosser, you're a road racer. The (significant) difference in the two is tha

Sounds like it would be worth a tear-down to identify the problem further. Seems unlikely that you're having wear issues in so few uses ... I've got probably 3000 starts on mine and it still works f

If the fault is the kind that I had, the starter turns the engine very slowly. There are two little wires in there that carry juice to mysterious places, and the one that breaks first causes the star

I always thought of them as throw away anyway. Keep the adaptors and take them to the local shop and they can put a new motor in it. Mine has lasted 3 years so far in my TR6. Charly TR6 #44 == unsubs

That's probably it--the change was sudden. One minute I could turn the motor over easily, the next I couldn't. I tried different batteries and a jumper but no dice. Where are the wires? In the motor
