Derek, the rebuilt-by-lucas starter that I got for the Merlyn failed after
no more than 20 starts - the pinion end brass bushing fell out! The Lucas
rebuild also had a ten tooth pinion gear instead of 9 tooth, which I suspect
accounts for why the ring gear on my flywheel was showing rapid wear. Even
the best Lucas starter I've tried can barely turn over the engine - what do
you use on your BDA?
