starter problems 28
a friend has a 28 tudor with the early multi disc clutch (you can see the different flywheel thru the starter opening). he is having a noise problem when using the starter. with the old style bendix the bolt head is hitting something. he tried one of the new style bendix's and it was really rubbing where the housing gets big. he is getting to be an expert at removing and installing the starter, but is stumped as to the problem. i've got a couple of later cars, but haven't run into anything like this.

Re: starter problems 28
Bent armature shaft or worn bushings on the starter?

Re: starter problems 28
As I recall, the early 1928 starter with Abel drive for the multi-disk clutch was shimmed to create clearance between the drive and the ring gear. Does your friend's starter have any shims behind the starter mounting flange? He may have to experiment with different thicknesses of shims to get the correct clearance. These shims used to be available through the vendors, but I don't know if that is the case anymore, since so many parts are now "out of stock" or "discontinued" with most vendors. He may have to make his own shims from brass. Or does he have too many shims already?

Re: starter problems 28
Does your friends starter have a 1/2 or 5/8 inch shaft?

Re: starter problems 28
I don't think that a later starter will work with his early flywheel. I recommend that he uses his early starter with the 1/2" shaft and fins the BR starter drive as shown in the Service Bulletins. That drive along with an original shim should work out for him.

Re: starter problems 28
I didn't hear of anyone making a modern bendix drive for an early starter. Did I miss something??

Re: starter problems 28
No one makes the early replacement or the Abel type drive. This is a sore spot when using the early multi disc clutch but it's not the only one. There are several parts that are hard to find.
It takes a lot of parts to convert them but the later parts are still easy to find and repair. |
