Re: [Chevelle-list] Q: Car batt? (Solution to Starter problems)

I also had the same problem from just a bad cable. Too much resistance. Check cables.   One battery couldn't start car but 2 could.   Dave Ingersoll,Ontario My web site: http://members.tripod.com/benj30/ ----- Original Message ----- From: Pelle Andersson To: The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Saturday, October 08, 2005 4:01 AM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Q: Car batt? (Solution to Starter problems) I've checked that! When I use two batteries The starter engages properly/fully! So I'm convinced it's the battery that is too weak to handle the starter, making it engage only partially.   B.R.

(Solution to Starter problems) I believe if your only engaging a small part of the gear you need to shim it closer to the flywheel. You'll wear out the bendix gear and get stuck some place. Same thing happened to me. Pelle Andersson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Yeah I've just read them! Thanks! I discussed my problem with another gearhead here in Sweden and I believe we're on to something here! The starters teeth are a bit blunt at the top which makes it hard for the starter to engage to the flexplate with my battery that is a tad too weak for a ministarter, according to the article you sent! (63/650 Amps) The result is that the starter only engages the very top of its teeth to the flexplate, when I get it to engage at all? I bet this is the answer to my problems!?
