Starter Issue

Post by curtsat15 »

Hey guys, wondering about something. Got my PM all wired up (except for lights), and discovered that the little tab is gone from the starter engagement arm that acuates the starter mounted solenoid engagement switch. Is there a simple way to fix this short of buying an entirely new engagement unit? I've tried JB Weld a couple times with the proper metal prep, and it just won't stick! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Well no big deal for now. Temp fix, wrapped a hose clamp around it and closed it up. See how long that lasts. LOL

Nope sorry, I'll post one later this week. I'll post a bunch. Got all the wiring except lights done too.
