This is in the members section if that helps. Hopefully you don't have to mess with the Rolite bearings and just have to change out seals.

Re: Starter
are you sure you want to put that much effort in? Just a thought, mine went bad and I changed to a Skytec and wow! 6 or 8lbs gone and it spins the prop like no ones business... I know they are't cheap but mine sure works nice!

Re: Starter
My 120 is having a starter problem. Occasionally when I try to start, I just hear a grinding noise and the engine doesn't turn over. After a few tries, I'm able to get started. An A&P who is familiar with the old-style pull cable starters tells me I will need a new gear for the starter. Any suggestions as to where to look for one of those gears?? Thanks.

Re: Starter
First make sure the cable is properly adjusted. There is a Continental service bulletin on this, and a Cessna bulletin referencing the Continental one.
If you need a new drive gear, Niagara Airparts can supply one. However, at that point you may want to look at replacing the whole thing with a more modern one from SkyTech or B&C.

Re: Starter
I recently had the same drip, drip, drip from my old DELCO starter. The
plunger seal had a crack. I found the correct seals at FRESNO AIRPARTS.
Very cordial, knew exactly what I was requesting and it came in the mail
in just 2 days to South Texas.
