It's back, and running!
Well some of you guys knew I had a problem with the starter, well I fixed it. Turned out that :
1- Battery was dead
2- Starter wasn't shimmed properly
So after a new battery, and starter, and 40 mins of WD-40, and grease in my face. I fixed it
It was my first mechanical job so I'm so proud.
Here's a pic of the old starter :
When I unbolted it, it came down in pieces...The flywheel's teeth were fine, so I'm not sure how it cracked like that.
Anyway time to pack it up for the core charge.
