Had a tooth out. I could hear a repetitive thump when starting and I knew it was a tooth missing. But, finally, this w.e. more teeth must have broken off and of course it stopped right where it won't engage with starter gear. Push started it and dropped it off at shop. I replaced flywheel about 6-7 years ago. My mechanic says it happens with 69-era 911's. High torque starter probably doesn't help.

What is wrong with replacing the .8 hp stock starter with the stock 911 (73-) 1.5 hp starter? Simple, easy and a direct bolt in.

Nothing at all wrong with it -- works great -- but heavier than the aftermarket "hi-torque" units and possibly more expensive (?) |
