Dusting off the TR3 and dreaming about the day when the snow melts, I tried
to give the starter a go. Well, The starter engaged but motor did not turn
over(or just barely). I know the starter motor was turning as I could hear
it, working under a load, and feel it. This is not a case where the one
plugs fires and kicks the pinion out and the starter spins free.
What should I look for when I pull the head off the starter? Is there a set
screw or a keyway that secures the pinion to the shaft? I see most of the
parts in the Moss catalog are N/A, is there a source for replacement parts?
Is it possible that the ring gear is slipping around the flywheel (oh,
please no)?
As always, TIA,
Bill
