[AJD] 720D Pony Motor Starter Problem

[Dee Schuyler]

Tom.
You could have a few teeth off the ring gear on the flywheel or for that 
matter a couple gone or badly worn on the  starter  Or some of each? try 
using a screwdriver to turn the pony over by prying against a tooth on the 
flywheel a inch or so and then try it?
Lots of times they come to stop at the same place when shut off and some 
spots on the ring gear have more wear than other spots?
