starter problem
When i hit the starter & the pinon gear engages it will not spin the flywheel. Sometimes it does, but it is not consistent. Had the starter apart & all the gears look good. The clutch in there turns hard. I sprayed it with teflon oil & that helped. Checked the battery[new] & its fine, 12.8 volts. Do not have a load tester. Any help would be appreciated. Jon M Riley

RE: starter problem
Sounds like the starter drive or overrunning clutch, whichever name you prefer to call it.
The starter will engage, spin, but wil not turn the engine over because the starter clutch is slipping.

RE: starter problem
End play in the armature, the drive engages too far and contacts the ring. It is a simple fix to shim the drive end of the armature to keep it from hitting the ring.

RE: starter problem
Check for a voltage drop between the battery and starter connection.. a bad or weak ground could cause the problems also... The battery could be new and check good but if there is a weak connection there is a lack of cranking juice getting to the starter it will effect it's operation.
