Re: "58 Mark 28 starter

[jeff-register]

There is nothing wrong with a new starter. Jerking on the rope before it is engaged trashes the pawls. Having it tuned up lets it start without pulling the guts out of the starter. My Mk 28 is very hard to start because of the compression, but a few pulls easy fills the crankcase & the next pull starts it. Need to get the parts you need to repair some jerk destroyed & didn’t know how to tune it up!
Sorry to say. Tune it up & fix the starter. You will be suprised how well it performs for you.
