starteris turning over not starting then sliping and grinding.

[Zach Holt]

my 63 chevs starter is craping out,it turns over but starts to grind and disengages and then spins freely. almost like the solenoid arm just lets go after a couple cranks.

 I shimmed and checked the 1/8th clearance. nothing. I hear what i hear hear "Crank Crank grindgrind highspeed free spin and little grind sound"

I droped the started and im going to test it tomorrow monring.

Ive googled the hell out of this. no info at all that matchs the issue.

Any help or thoughts would be awesome?

Replace the solinoid. It sounds like its letting go. Brighouse auto electric one block south of the casino in richmond.

I walked over to brighouse from my pops wine shop a half block west. They quoted anywhere from 45-65 dollars depending on the motor.

Just take it over to Juan at Poco auto electric.  He is very smart with rebuilding and/or diagnosing.  He is very reasonable as well.  I used to work there so tell him i sent you by.
