<VV> PG starter free spin

[FrankCB at aol.com]

Reminds me that unlike modern "improved" cars you CAN push start automatic  
trans  Corvairs.  I used to park at one job site that had a hilly lot  and 
I parked the 66 Monza "Joe Cool" at the highest spot.  With the  ignition on 
I could usually (but not always) get it rolling fast enough by the  time I 
got to the lot exit to "roll start" it without using the starter.
Let's see you try that with a recent A/T car!!!

Grymm:   Had the problem with both my 66 and my 69.  I solved the problem 
with a  rebuilt starter.  The starter is worn and it won't get any better.   
in fact it is likely that eventually you'll get stuck someplace and be 
unable  to get another start (happened to me once).

You can rebuild it if you  have the time and the room in your garage, but 
since I have neither, I just  got a rebuilt and haven't had a problem. 

Good Luck...Bill  Hershkowitz
