For the past week, my runner has been having some starter trouble :sour:

It hits every time, but before the engine actually starts, the starter sings away as if the flexplate has missing teeth :05.18-flustered:

Earlier today, I just barely got her running by bumping the timing up (MSD timing knob) and she was able to start on a short blip, but it put quite a load on the starter :eek:

I have yet to put her up on my lift to check her out, but I'm already looking into starter options.

According to the paperwork I got from the PO, she currently has a PowerMaster Mastertorque 9613

How do the FleaBay mini starters at over $100 bucks cheaper stack up?
