Re: starter spins sometimes

Most likely your starter drive just chose this time to start going out. Kind of like the customer who fussed that I had replaced bushings and ball joints in his front end and aligned it and now the radio doesn't work and expected it to be repaired for free.

They aren't hard to change an you could change the bushings and brushes at the same time and have a fresh starter ready for a lot more miles.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
