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) |

Heat makes the shaft expand and the little gear does not get pushed far enough. It’s a combination of a bad ground strap and a dirty starter.
Quick fix, get a long black battery cable about three feet long and go from the battery ground to the lower bolt on the starter to give it a really good ground. |
