my 72 gt6 has a newly rebuilt engine. it is, as i put some miles on it (about
120 miles now) starting to cool down better. it was running hot, but now, as
long as i am moving (not at a red light) it stays on the lower half of water
temp range. if the engine is fully warm, and i stop to run into a store, when
i come out, the starter will not crank over. it just locks right up (ruh).
however, if i put jumper cables on the battery and jump it with another car,
it will crank. when the car is cold, it cranks fine. i swapped the battery
so it is not the battery. question - do you think the engine is still just
too tight and needs more breaking in ? or do you think the starter is weak
and needs rebuild / replace ? on rebuild, i think i can get brushes at v.b.
i have the starter #. it has 4 brushes triangular shaped down the bottom of
starter. anyone have experience rebuilding these starters ? just clean it,
replace brushes and oil shaft ? the brushes looked hard to get at and replace
- true ? thanks !!!! larry, lstein6@earthlink.net
