well, starter motor is grinding out again, no grip..
hopefully the starter is worn not flywheel..

my starter problems have been just plain stupid.
how am i supposed to get my esky on the road if the esky wont even hold itself together?

sterling is your starter motor staying on after the car starts? if the solonoid is no good it can cause it to stick (which you can hear big time) which will be shagging your flywheels. what kind of starter motor are you running?

well ive been through 7 so far, cortinas, auto's, proper 2ltr mans, etc
how does a sticking solenoid shag a flywheel?
this one stuck when the battery was low/dead. if the battery had atleast decent charge it would work fine.

7!? haha something wrong.
sticking soloinoid will not disengauge the starter motor. flywheel spinning faster than starter. chomp.
but as you have run 7 starters and 3 flywheels you would think that atleast one of them would have an ok solonoid.

edt
do u have a pic of the teeth on the ring gear of your flywheels / starters? depending on where its showing wear might make it more obvious

well thats what im pretty unsure about.. my motor is slight worked. cam advanced timing ports etc.
and the it kicks back and from what it sounded like, never actually could see, it would force the starter motor backwards, and then after it would spin normally again, that couldnt be good for it.
yeah 4 of the 7 were from solenoids sticking, 2 the windings heated/warped or whatever that is. and 1 teeth on the cog round out after it chewed up the flywheel, then next starter (one i was just using) teeth chewed up on flywheel and cog.
im thinking of just getting a new starter and using hte old flywheel.. just hoping for the best, but i already took the gearbox out so i might as well get new teeth at the same time. dunno where to get ring gears from? i heard they were readily available?

clearly what your doing isnt fixing it so i wouldn't put it back together and hope for the best. what did the guy say that you took it to to get the work done?
are the teeth on the flywheels being damaged the whole way round or only part of the wheel?
are you getting vibration from flywheel??
getting worse under more revs?

there must be an alignment problem, have you got the locating pins that go between the bell housing and engine ?

It sounds like the bolts that hold the starter in are comming loose.
You are putting three bolts into the bellhousing sterlo?
Unless your starting and driving it around the yard 20 times each day. Your flywheel ring gear shouldn't wear out like it has done.
Good luck with it. Who needs the gym when you got a Escort to play with.
