When my engine was out for rebuild, I decided it was a good time to replace the old "bullnose" starter with a new gear-reduction unit. This worked OK for several months until today, when I was in a parking lot trying to start and the starter would not engage. Turns out that the screws holding the starter motor came loose, and the starter motor was just flopping around. Oh well, I hate to admit that the old bullnose unit never let me down.
In order to re-tighten the screws it looks like I have to remove the starter. Another little project...I understand that the bolts to remove the starter are not easy to access...but at least the modern starter is very light.
