High Inertia Starter

[Fireman049]

Having reinstalled my high inertia starter motor to my 3A I notice that I have a small yellow wire

with a female spade connector hanging loose. I've forgotten what this connects to.

This wire is connected to the main cable terminal.

Pressing the starter button only produces a clicking sound in the starter solenoid.

That'll be the operating wire for the preegagement solenoid on the starter. There should be a receptacle on the starter to accept the Lucar connector.

Hi Tom,

Does your High 'Inertia' starter take a long time to get going.

 

I couldn't stand the wait so I got a high 'torque' starter instead.

High Torquer. Wasn't that a Seinfeld episode?

...Where did you get that hat...

 

 

Pot, meet kettle.

 

(I did have a Lucas high inertia starter on my car for many years. Took 31 of 'em (years, not starters) to get the thing going again.)
