[DeTomaso] Cleveland starters - Looking for thoughts on the subject

[Jerry R Knotts]

Finally got my home phone back functioning after 6 days.
Called DB and verified that indeed I have the two correct starters.  The 
0001 is a long snout  and the 0012 is a short snout, otherwise the same 
starter.  We do not know why the long snout sometimes doesn't engage the 
flywheel,but bounces off.  The starter gear on the unit will work for 157 or 
164 tooth flywheels.  The problem of non engagement is new.  I am replacing 
the direct drive starter because of  hot start problems.  I am going to put 
the new DB starter back in and use an amp-clamp to find if there is 
something wrong with the starter unit.  It did cook a battery with 36 months 
left on the warranty.

Will try to get this done this afternoon or tomorrow.  DB did assure me that 
if there is a problem with the starter that they will warranty it.

Onward and upward,
jerry
