well i have had two new ones ther pinion settings are wrong>?

haaha well ill be there hail no stone ill be there

[Jimski]

I thought the only differnce was the stud pattern, the pre crossflows had 2 bolts and some escorts had 3, for a brief time i ran a 3 bolt on a 2 bolt bell housing.

what's wrong with bump starting it?

[leecostello]

i would bump it but i dont fancy lookin like a tool really hahah but having saying that now its fixed not too worry ill be there defo a cant wait to see some proper old skool minters

[Jimski]

I would go but I dont have the time, been working on the MK1 though to make up for it

if people asked why you are bumping it tell them its built to be light and the starter is slowing you down!

Do you have the spacer between the starter and gearbox? Also there are two Gears for the starter 10 or 9 teeth
In the end I got a new old stock Lucas one
