Starter Woes...

Mikel, the nose broke off of my starter also. So did the lower mounting ear. Snapped clear off it. It turnned out that the bolt I swa using in the top of the starter had to long of a shoulder on it so it was bottomed out and not actually tight.

I changed the bolt the bolt and put the starter back in, Bolted up the broken mounting bolt ear to keep the starter straight and its been fine since. I'll change it this winter.
