Thread: Chevy Starter Syndrome???

Tweet

I installed a powermaster gear reduction starter, and everything was fine,for a while then, it quit just like all the other starters,it spins but it is like the bendex is not engaging with the fly wheel.but when I pull the bendex out it lines up prefect in the flywheel. I got another new stock starter and put it on, with the very same results.could this be a grounding problem ? any sugestions.

This does sound like a heat issue. We had a similar discussion about this same problem for the chevys just a few days ago. You can search for it posted by "Youther" called "Neutral Safety Switch" or you might find this link helpful ifyou decide to fix the problem for good.

By installing a remote solenoid, heat wont keep you parked when you are wantin' to go!

this also happened when it was cold and I installed a new starter,first time tring to turn it over with the new one
