Worn starter brushes. If you can do it, check them for length and spring
pressure. Otherwise, have a good auto electrical shop do it. I just went
through the identical issue on my 80 LE.

> Hello Listers,

> I recently replaced the starter on my 75B. It has been working fine

> Symptom is a tock sound from the starter but no turn.
> I have disconnected all the wires, sanded them as thoroughly as
> possible, replaced them & still the same.
> Another symptom, is turn key, tock. Try again, tock. 3rd time she
fires.

> At no time do the lights dim & it doesn't do it everytime I try

> 3-4 days.

> Any opinions please & thank you
