Re: Scary Cranking
Put a couple drops of WD-40 on that little piece of shaft right above the bendix gear and work the bendix up and down. Check all the conntections from the battery to the starter. Make sure they are clean and tight. <br /><br />If the problem pursists....jump the two large posts' on the solenoid. If the bendix consistently engages the flywheel when this is done, replace the solenoid.<br /><br />If nothing helps the problem, final solution is a starter overhaul and cleaning to replace the brushes.
