My starter has not been dependable in colder weather.  It takes several att=
empts to get the pinion engaged.  Once it "catches" it'll start beautifully=
. I just pulled it and the pinion was hanging up.  I cleaned it up and it n=
ow returns nicely to the "resting" position.  As long as it's out, I'm cons=
idering a Hi-Torque starter.  What are you running, are you happy with it a=
nd where did you get it?

Thanks you,

Jack

I am running the late TR3A-TR4A starter shown below.

 hello Jack,
I sell "WOSP" brand starters from my biz. They are new units, not reman or =
rebuilt like many out there. They have been a good seller over a number of =
years and haven't had any issues I'm aware of. I do not stock the unit you =
are describing but can get one from warehouse in about a week. My prices ar=
e quite a bit better than Moss who also sells this brand. My number is 847 =
840 7366 9am - 8pm central or email: [email-masked].=C2=A0
Cheers,Ralph
