Guys, have you read this thread? It ‘ends’ with a solution on running a parallel cable for the triggering wire… which has an inherent high resistance, that doesn’t seem to have ever been found, but fixed by running the second parallel cable from fuse box to starter motor. I had the issue, (like many) and changed starter but it remained… ran the paralllel cable and had no issues at all since. Here. (takes about 1/2 hour, and a £5 small reel of cable from Halfords) https://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/topic31909-75.html |

it take patience, many rotations and twists etc to get the right orientation to come out.

Thanks, I was pushing it back against the rubber pipe but could not get the teeth past. Will give it a few twists and see how it goes! |

Update, my parallel wire did not fix the fault, but cleaning up the heavily burnt contacts did. Started each time since so hopefully this will last a fair few miles.

I attempted to extract mine to check the contacts when the starter had to be removed to fit a crankshaft locking tool but I lost patience trying. It was difficult enough to just get it to where I could fit the tool. |
