Genevieve got her teeth pulled, -- we got the starter gear out of the bell housing Options

[Mamacita]

No anesthesia required, thankfully. We went and got a flexible magnet (as was suggested here) today and John did the surgery while I was doing some necessary house stuff.

The gear game out in three pieces, two large & one tiny (only large enough for one tooth from the gear). We won't have to worry about those hanging out where they ought not be, causing problems.

The new starter was shipped yesterday & if last time was any indication, we should get it today or tomorrow.

I can't wait to get the new starter bolted on and see how Gen is doing after having the carb repaired over the weekend!! Hopefully she'll start right up & purr right along!

Thanks for all your help. I don't know what I'd have done without the help & advice here.

Here's a picture of the culprit!
