my starter makes an awful noise sometimes when starting, sometimes it is just fine and starts smoothly. It sounds as though the teeth or splines are grinding? The truck has the stock 235, and has been converted to 12v. Is it possible the flywheel/starter was not changed when converted to 12v, and has the wrong number of teeth? or is it likely to be just out of adjustment or a bad starter?
any advice would be appreciated... i did a search but didnt see anything that fit my description.
thanks
