chris mk3 325 Posted February 21, 2023 (edited) Plot thickens 110 teeth flywheel ,😌 know most are 132/135, been on eBay AA plodham list a 9 tooth starter for 110 flywheel which is a crossflow , I'm.hoping to try this , the one I have is a 10 tooth starter , could it simply be I need a 9 tooth instead of a 10 tooth?

GhiaMk4/5 207 Posted March 2, 2023 The kit car I recently purchased hadn't ran for 11 years, good old 2.1 pinto, new oil, new belt, new plugs, pumped the throttle 6 times and it burst into life, I'm sure yours will be the same, if there's a spark and fuel and timing and the firing order is correct a pinto is pretty reliable and a good starter.
