Starter Issue
On several occasions my starter has kept turning after the engine starts and bendix releases. What could be causing this? I'm still on the original 6 volt system.

Re: Starter Issue
Anybody ever have this problem where the starter motor keeps running after the engine starts?

Re: Starter Issue
Starter switch is sticking, remove and clean the contacts!

Re: Starter Issue
Check the battery as well. A weak battery can cause sticking contacts as well.

Re: Starter Issue
ALWAYS push the starter FIRM & HARD, to lessen the chance of ARCING & "welding" the contacts together. ADD this to your FULL Sheet list of "HOW TO START YOUR DAMNED MODEL A"----"Maybe" thet's why CROOKS didn't use Model As????

Re: Starter Issue
Once you have the starter switch off, check to see if the bronze contact strip is not catching on the cardboard insulation on the sides.
