My foot operated starter engages sometimes and most oftenly not. It engages almost, then rattles and spinns freely, and I have to test several times before it suddenly engages and turns the engine.
It sounds terrible, what is the cause of this, bad battery ? The starter block that the arm presses to is new, but it was the same before. I have seen starter parts at Jim Carters, but it's for a starter up to early -55. I have a -59 with a 261.
Anyone with a good link for parts ?
