As the saying goes,,,, if it can go wrong it probably will go wrong. I am now in the market for a starter for my 930. What is the consensus?? I had the Hi Torque starter. I chose it because it had a clockable face and allowed me to put the starter in without altering frame members. Well at my final tune up yesterday(second time for this actually) the starter started making some funny sounds. We observed the same grinding sound and intermittent action that happened when it tore up the ring gear(this will be the third time in 3 months if it did it again). When we used the starter without the ignition key on, it turned the engine consistantly without all the calamity. Later on we saw sparks flying out the back of the unit at two screw mounts. The volt meter was jumping wildly from 14 volts to 10 volts also. We surmised also that the starter just wasn't turning the engine over fast enough to trigger the starting function of the ignition system, or it was acting intermittently. Maybe 300 rpm of so. As most of you know I am running the 351 Wiindsor bored and stroked to 396 with AFR 205 heads with flat top pistons, so the c.r. is not high. We called the session off. I haven't pulled the starter yet as I am fairly depresed over this new(rather old really) problem. Had this acted as it should I would be out there drving the car as we speak.
What I am looking for is SPECIFIC starters. If porsche, I need the model that will work best. There are several refubished units on Ebay.
