starter has problem turning my engine
Hi Guys & Gals
this my first post here. Looks like a very good forum.
Now, my problem.
I have a relatively new GM crate engine (1000 miles) in my car. It is a ZZ430 clone (Fast Burn 385 w/Hot cam). Most of the time my starter has problems to turn it, then sometimes it spins it like a top. The starter is also new.
Can it be my timing is not correct? ( I had a shop dyno tune it and he set the timing) I would think that a regular GM starter could turn a engine with 9.6 to 1 compression ratio, no problem. I have double checked my connections and all is OK.
Somebody told me it hangs together with the vaccum advance distributor...
I don't know.
Can anyone help or give me some suggestions on what to try???
Thanks in advance
Dammit, another good ol boy gone. Condolence to the family. RIP Mike
