Well, got a new starter and it works fine. So tell me about shimming. Is that a scientific measurement between the gears, or can you tell by ear if things are OK. I installed .046 because that is what I had. It sound OK, except the engine seems to balk at the front end of the start and then fires right up. I am wondering if this is a shim issue, or simply nothing to worry about.
Thanks for your help on this one
