I just brought home the ABM last night from the shop just in time for Rennsport. Tried to move it into the garage for some work and the starter is grinding. Not good.
Question: with a bad starter / potential flywheel, is it OK to push start it. I only need to go about 100 miles each way.... I also have AAA. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) |

Pop starting with a bad starter is fine (as long as it is not stuck engaged to the flywheel. That's usually how I started my VW 412 back in my HS days. With FI, I could pop start it by myself in the length of a parking spot - forward or backward... push it out of the spot...push it back in... hop in while it's rolling.. pop the clutch... vroom-vroom. Oh and slam on the brakes.
A damaged flywheel may create an out-of-balance issue that could be bad for bearings, depending on the damage. You can view the flywheel toothed gear for damage through the porthole from underneath the car.. a bit of a PITA, but doable with a little help from someone to turn the motor by hand (take the sparkplugs out first, of course). |
