Hello There,
There seems to be different schools of thought on this, I have have used Lithium grease on starters and it seems to help function as surprisingly very little muck gets into that area of the bell- housing.
Regards,
Charles

Hi Dave earlier cars like this 1964 have starters with separate Solenoid, not a pre- engaged unit, I had a look at the ring gear it looks ok
My mind is getting boggled rapidly with this!
Regards,
Charles

Hello Jack,
I haven't heard of power-lite where can they be sourced from?
Earth straps etc all checked, cleaned and tightened.
regards,
Charles I can't think of any reason why you're getting through starter motors - other than as already suggested, it was a poor batch.

Here is a bit info I purchased mine 23-07-2010 from AES Electric Supplies Ltd Granville House 11 Cross Sreet Tenbury Wells Worcesrershire WR15 8EF 01584 819552 www.autoelectricsupplies.co.ukthey sent out a RAC-410 it was the wrong one so they picked it up with my original and built a one to match RAC-110A high torque . When it starts up it gives a Whizz sound . It cost me in total £158-63. Mathew is the chap in charge . Just started it the other day after a month and it started first time . uote=greenmachine]Hello Jack, I haven't heard of power-lite where can they be sourced from?

I don't mind being shot down for this, here goes, I just seem to remember being advised not to grease the bendix on a starter motor. Agreed - dirt and clutch plate dust sticks to the grease and makes the problem worse. But I remember a squirt of WD40 on the starter bendix of my Triumph Vitesse worked wonders when I had a similar problem years ago. I think powdered graphite or MoS2 was the recommended lubricant.

That it is OK on the first crank, but not the second reminds me of a problem I had years ago with a rebuilt starter. The rebuilder used a wire size that was too small in the armature, and as a result, when the starter was bone cold it would crank OK for a few seconds until the resistance rose in the windings, after that it would not develop enough power to crank. This also caused the drive pinion to remain engaged.
