Any idea's why my "new" starter won't turn the '82 XJ1100?
How does the starter shaft "connect" to the crank shaft?
Things I've done:
I had the starter re-built and installed in a friends XJ1100 (just to verify it working), it turned his engine over like a 33 RPM record.
I installed it in my XJ and it barely turned over. I removed the plugs and squirted engine oil in the cylinders; the starter turned my engine over faster than a 45 rpm record. However, when I re-installed ONE spark plug, the starter motor stalled.
I pulled the valve cover and check the timing; the intake, exhaust and ignition alignment arrows are all lined up.
The battery (and cables) are clean and tight.
The starter (with out any spark plugs) pulls a lot of amps. Is it possible to bind the starter shaft? Thanks Stan in Deer Park
