Re: Want a beer?

jab35, The article you posted reminded me of a Pabst bottle I've had for about 45 years found it under a house they were going to tear down to expand a warehouse for a beer distributor of all things. I believe that it was a bar back in the teens or before. The bottle has no mention of a blue ribbon ...

Re: Bendix Clatter

Andrew, These starters have a babbitt washer on the brush end which can start to crumble allowing the armature to move about uncontrolled. This could be your noise. I'm no expert just what I have found in a couple of recent rebuilds for myself. Jim

Re: Bendix Clatter

Andrew, If you decide to pull the starter be sure to remove the bendix from the shaft first, you run the risk of damage to the magneto if you don't. One thing I don't think was mentioned it could be a bent armature shaft. Jim
