Rand, good point and makes sense too.
Hopefully Dr914 reads this (and other informative threads on this site) and updates his book to include these useful clairfications/observations. |

A 911 starter is a better replacement, 70-82 year. One problem also possible is
a poor contact between plugs and pins on the relay board behind driver. Corrosion can and does exist there to a point of poor conductivity. If you see green powdery material, thats it. Cleaning and spreading the pins on the board is the cure. Dimitri |

When you replace the starter there is gotcha that has gotten a few folks. One of the bolts undoes from inside the engine bay. The end on the starter has a retaining flange that makes it impossible to get a wrench on it.

Dimitry, good point and I had already cleaned the relay board and connectors two months ago, still looking good.
Rain does get in there...poor design. I'm going to make a rubber washer for the top screw...hopefully that will help a bit. Also even though the top bolt is accessed through the engine compartment, I hope it's not a bugger...we'll see. |
