Nice day. I thought, why not starting my BN4 first time in 25years? The answer came in quickly: the starter is not strong enough to move the engine. Is it a "normal issue" on rebuilt 6 cyl engines,

Hi Gergo, The starter should be able to turn the freshly restored engine. First I would check the earth connection starter-engine (paint on starter motor), engine-chassis is not strong enough. If thi

Your starter needs to be cleaned and gear lubricated to work properly. Also have your armature checked by any auto electrical shop, they will know what to do even in Magyar, it is a very basic motor

G'day all We just had a similar problem on a 100 - bypassed the cut-out switch and bingo! Away she went. That said on another 100 turned out to be brushes on the starter itself Cheers Peter Linn Bris
