Hi Bob,
Did you have your starter rebuilt locally or is there a company that
specializes in AH starter rebuilds?

I took the advice of several on the List and Forum, and had the starter for my
BJ8 overhauled. I installed it and gave it a whirl; I was caught off guard at
how fast the engine turned over and fired-up, and over-revved the engine for a
couple seconds. I won't say it was as fast as a geared starter, but it spun
the engine plenty fast, and much faster than I recall it ever working. All
this time--over 30 years' ownership of this car--I just assumed that Lucas
starters sounded like it was all they could do to crank with the 'rnh-rnh-rnh'
sound; like the starters on most piston aircraft engines I've flown (most of
these planes were seriously under-batteried).
Thanks to all who provided advice. Now, I gotta get the starter on the BN2
done.
Bob
