Got a question. Can these starters heat up to the point of not bein able to turn the car over. I took a 150 mile trip and when i got home my car wouldnt turn over unless i bumped it off the compression stroke of the current cylinder. I was wondering if it was just cause of the long trip or is my starter goin kaput

As with all electrical wiring, heat increases resistance and the answer would be YES
Old wiring, dirty contacts, corroded battery cables, etc. Personally, I like the aftermarket Yappanese gear reduction starters with the new nose...$120 - $200 depending on where you buy them. |

My car had the same problem for years--even after replacing the starter with a tilton reduction-gear unit and adding a hot-start relay. After that I went through all of the steps listed on the pelican site and added a NOS + battery cable. The "real" fix was replacing the woven ground strap between the trans and the underside of the trunk--at least no problems since then (knock on wood).
Hope this helps |

Yes, there are speciality rebuilders that will do it....but generally no one wants to pay the price. |

You can always put a 72- on 911 starter on and forget all that hot start fix. The bottom line is the original starter is .8 hp. Porsche realized that had a problem and went to 1.5 hp starter for the 911.
You need to also check all the other stuff mention too. |

also would a bad regulator cause my car to buck so bad that the engine actually cuts out for a second or 2?

Just run a GM 1 wire alternator in place of your stock one. Takes a little fab work, but it fits.
