Starter issues on 8BA?
Have STUMP PULLER starter as offered by SPEEDWAY & others; when I push on starter button I can hear starter relay activate on the firewall but starter fails to turn over, this happens whether a cold or hot start and only occasionally. If I rock the car back & forth in gear & then push starter button it turns right over. Any ideas what's wrong with starter motor, engine has less than 200 miles on it.

Re: Starter issues on 8BA?
Thats odd how rocking the car helps. You would think nothing on the starter is touching the flywheel or anything else Until it is engaged

Re: Starter issues on 8BA?
I have one on my 48. It has worked fine for several years. It sounds like the starter is locking in the flywheel.I think there are two different starters. make sure you have the right one, One is for the up to 48, and then 49/ 53. Think that's the way it is. The bendex is longer on one.

Re: Starter issues on 8BA?
your starter is hanging up on the flywheel when it try's to kick back, i had this problem with mine a few times.

perhaps yours has spun against the ring gear and milled the face of the pinion tyeeth and burred the ring gear teeth |

Re: Starter issues on 8BA?
That starter doesn't need a selnode just a bottom.
THe Power Mater is a better starter. |

Re: Starter issues on 8BA?
There you got it I think there is a diff. of about 3/8 or so on the early or late flywheel set back. Can't remember all about it. I just know because mine is a allumin. , and I had that trouble. Works fine now.

Re: Starter issues on 8BA?
George, I think you're right about not needing the starter solenoid on the firewall, it was a change of plans during the build. It performed flawlessly until recently. Going to see what a Power Mater looks like. I think you meant Power Master and that's who made my "Stump Puller."

Re: Starter issues on 8BA?
If your stock starter button grounds the connection from the solenoid, then you do need the old solenoid. Regardless, the solenoid on the starter itself needs juice when you hit the button. I just ran a heavy (#12) wire parallel to the big cable to the starter's solenoid connection.

Re: Starter issues on 8BA?
The Power master is like a original starter and is 12 volts.
Bolts like original and doesn't have that hard hitting like 6Volt starter on 12 volts. I have 2 on my cars and work well. Make sure you have correct starter plate some are on angle. Check the screws on starter they are small and can loosen. |

Re: Starter issues on 8BA?
Also make sure you have the little bracket that goes on one starter bolt and attatches
to a pan bolt. It helps hold the starter steady and helps starter ground. .

Re: Starter issues on 8BA?
Thanks Walt. Mine just seems to be week and I do have a spare from a 50 P/U 239 that I was thinking of trying.
Best just get it rebuilt I guess. Any advice on that? Thanks Whoops, how can I tell the difference cuz I am not sure what the one was I put on there? I had 3 of them here when the 53 went together. Thanks Last edited by ThomasN; 02-14-2015 at 11:53 PM. |
