Re: IML: 1960 Starter Drags when Engine is At Operating Temp.

["Rob van der Es" <R.vdes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry Paul, but I don't understand...

How can the timing influence the rotation speed of a starter motor??
I must admit that my timing is too advanced hower, it's about 12.5 degrees 
BTDC instead of the recommended 10 degrees. That is because the engine is 
running on propane instead of gasoline.
Since propane has a much higher octane rating then regular gasoline it is 
safe to advance the timing a little, and it gives the engine more power.

But I don't understand why this also influence the performance of the 
starter motor when the engine has been warmed up ?

Maybe you can shine a light on it for me :)

Thanks,

Robert

That will also happen if the timing is too advanced. Try backing it off
a little and see if the problem goes away. Heat shouldn't effect the
starter that much.

OK James,

I understand, maybe the best thing I can do is to find me a reputable
rebuilder and send him my original starter.
You see, mine is having problems when it is getting hot. The starter
spins perfectly when the car is cold, but when the car is driven for a
while and the engine has warmed up it turns around very slow.
If you wait for an hour or so the starter will act normal again :)

Hello, no I havent I think its not worth all of the opposition and the
hassle to go with the little outcome of the result. The msd ingnition
system has to be on its toes. To have the least effect against my
oringinal starter. The header issue isnt worth the gamble when Im just
going to use it for cruisins, and some kind of shows .My motor is
allthat and im not going risk nothing because everything shiney and new
will make you feel that way.

Hi James,

Have you actually found another starter for your 60 already?
I am still looking around for the best option you see.

Thanks,

Robert
