Reply to "starter issue"

goodrocMember

My old starter (before I did a performance update on my engine) was of the type on the photo. It does not have a build-in solenoid but used the Field of the Starter as an electro magnet that pulls on a Rocker Arm which again slams the sprocket forward and engage in the Flywheel. With this setup the famous Ford Starter Relay on the Firewall is needed.

What happened once (on our semi annual LMC trip deep inside France behind Enemy lines) was that the Rivet of which the Rocker Arm pivots fel out!!!! Really annoying but very easy fix once the Starter is off. Click..... Click..... Click????

Just saying that something like this could also very easy have happend to yours?
