likely it is the location of the starter gear. we had to use a spacer on my
tr6 to get it right. took a couple of tries to get the right width of
spacer. if the starter spins, then its probably not the solenoid. someone
correct/confirm me here, but if the solenoid is bad, you'll just get a
click.

Subject: [TR] TR3 Starter Problem
When I did the restoration 10 years ago, I swapped out for a gear reduction
starter.
Toward the end of last driving season, I frequently tried to start the car,
but the starter would spin without engaging the flywheel.
This week, seems worse.
Since I just rebuilt the engine, I know there are no broken teeth on the
flywheel. I expect it's the solenoid.
Question...is there any experience with the solenoids on these after market
gear reduction starters failing?
