Re: Flywheel Alignment - Important? 120-130 1966

Hey Don!

I have an assortment of starters that I have interchanged between

my 164, my 122 (B20) and probably my 145. I have the best cranking

starter on my 122. Unfortunately it is also the worst engaging and

sometimes will make about 8-10 false starts before engaging and

cranking the engine (which it does VERY well). Among other things

this is embarrassing and also sometimes causes a very undesirable delay

in forward progress. It also can be disturbing when you want to sneak

out of a campground in the middle of the night.

This seems to be mostly related to the starter since none of my other

starters do this. BUT, if I roll the engine over just a bit, it

usually (not always) engages immediately.

I've tried various adjustments on the starter to

try to get it to engage further before the solenoid make contact but

no success so far. Last time I looked at the flywheel gear I didn't

see any obvious damage. S'pose I should (next time I'm in there)

reinstall the flywheel?
