Hey
I have a 54 with a 235cu original 6 volt starter. I am almost [censored]. Started went intermittant about 6 months ago. Starter fully depressed and nothing happened. Dead silence. Next try it would be ok. Thought it was a dead spot on the starter. Replaced it and the contact switch. EXACT same problem. Thought maybe the battery post was cracked replaced the battery. No help. Thought I must be the cables. Replaced all of them. Problem Persists. Spins plenty fast when it does engage.

Is there an adjustment somewhere that I missed? The linkage is all fixed length can't see an adjustment there. I have had the truck 30 years and this is the first starter problem I have had.

Anyone want to venture a guess??

By the way, I love the censor on this newsgroup. Not being a smart [censored] or anything, but I really do like it. It increases the impact when even a mild vulgarity is replaced with [a bad word]. I think I like this group already.
