I reckon new engine
don't give it up well if u do u will get more money if u break it

cant be engine worked fine befor i removed

What starter motors are you using? What exactly is it doing?

Did you use an adapter plate in the end or not? Of not did you fit the small spacer plate between the engine and gearbox?

If you were a bit closer I would pop up and have a look

thanks mate.

ye used a plate. I have tried bosch ones they bolt in ok and i have tried rotatin them both ways. Its spinning over well then it starts crunching afer a few canks then i have to un bolt it all refit it and it will spin over a few times again.

its got me so mad today lol. having a beer now and chilling. just so frustrating when its such a simple thing!

Thinking i might get rhino rays to take a look at it? because i keep chucking money at it without any results. starter motors coming out my ears at 50 a go!

That's a long old haul down to rays! Would be easier to bring it to me matey, I'm in corsham, Wiltshire.

pm sent mate

have you tried the starter without the convertion plate?
motor burning out or teeth grinding?
