Having problems with my starter motor. When you push the button to start, most of the time it just whirrs and wont throw in. I keep pushing it and eventually it grabs and cranks. When it does grab the engine turns over fine.

Bradz
there are 2 sizes of starters that suit the pinto, escort & cortina, the escort ones are from experience in the rally car very fragile and tempermental. The most simple & cheapest option is to stick a cortina one in they are larger in size and will require either lifting / tilting the motor and or removing the passenger side engine mount to get it it (when you stick them side by side it is easy to pick as there is a noticable size difference) |

Brad, I've had the same problem but was able to take the starter off and clean the bendix shaft. It gets a bit dirty and won't let the cog slide forward. Puzzle is right when he says the left engine mount needs to come off to get the **blessed thing ** out. I was lucky enough to have a few spares and there are two types, one a bit smaller but no probs fitting.
Cheers and good luck. Les |
