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

[Dave]

Good to know. I would hope DB takes care of the battery if there is a problem with the starter.
I did not know the changed stock/item numbers.

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
