Re: intermittent dead starter

My guess is your battery is weak... I'd put a charger on it for 12 hrs and see if that makes a difference... (My Battery became weak on a 2A trickle charger...) It was only after 2, 12hour charging sessions @ 6A did she have enough current to spin the engine... Thus far 4 months and no re-charging... and she held a charge without being started for 3 and half weeks..) Anyway something simple to try...

Re: intermittent dead starter
Sometimes bendix hangs on ring gear locking everything up. Putting it in third and rocking car, you will hear it when it pops back. Same symptoms. engage starter nothing all electrical check out fine. There is a reason this happens but I forgot it. Good luck.

Re: intermittent dead starter
The overhauled starter is back on the car and the rework made a huge difference in how fast the engine turns over. I'd guess maybe twice as fast as before.
The repair guy said there were several dead commutator segments where the windings had come unsoldered, plus commutator out of round, worn brushes, etc. He resoldered the loose windings, refinished the commutator, new bushings, new brushes, everything cleaned up and the result is like new performance. Who'da thunk it! For those in the Atlanta area: Auto Electric Remanufacturing. Nice work, very reasonable price. Thanks to all for your comments and guesses, John

Re: intermittent dead starter
Did you remove the starter yet? Obviously it has gone removed! Talk isnt going to fix it. Wayne
