not turning over right. as if its a battery drain but i've checked an its sittin at 20mA an the bat is fine. altenator works as it reads 14.4 when runnin. reaths are tight an clean. can only think starter motoe. had a look through the forum and others recommend a diesel as its used to turn over higher. just seekin out options for the weekend. wanna correct it asap. gettin on my nerves.________________________________________ Cherry Red - Phase 1 RestorationShe's alive again |

I have a feeling there is an issue with engagement on the ring gear with diesel starters.

Yep. All XU ones fit all XU engines.IIRC a while back rich had some issues with the flywheels and he said to use the 1.9DT starters to help prevent the issue. |
