Hi guys just a quick question.
I have recently got my 250 going and now as we bought the car with the engine were not sure whats the deal.
but somethings ive done was fit a brand new starter motor and woow what a job it is just to replace a starter motor on these engines!
It's a 250 2v behind a toploader now i have fitted a gear reduction starter from the AU model ford, now im just not quite sure why it just keeps grinding when i go to start it up.
It just grabs and will eventually start if i hold it but it just doesn't feel right its a very loud clunking noise like its missing and grabbing and just shearing gears or something.
now also i found that the starter motor has become loose and the bolts holding it have came loose from the vibration im guessing when turning the engine over and it just grabbing on occasion.
What are some things to look at i have been looking around and im just not sure what this could be?
Steve
