I recently posted on a throttle cable issue, but have another question regarding the starter on my 53 3100. The engine is a 57 235, and was converted to a 12V system. When I push my foot starter it usually winds (without turning the engine) 3 or 4 times...then it will starts up fine. On occasion, it will wind (without turning the engine) 8-10 times- before starting. Other times, it will start on the first push. I just purchased a new battery. I believe I might be in need of a starter or a re-build, but don't want to buy one prematurely. Can anyone offer advice...or similar issues?
I have a Delco Remy starter on the truck and have attached some photos.
I am a new Stovebolter, and appreciate all the help! Thanks
