Starter Motor Cover
Quick question - should a Sprint starter motor have a cover of sorts over the end of it where terminals are? Mine has a loose rag currently doing a shoddy job of keeping everything dry/clean.

Re: Starter Motor Cover
It should have a little square of asbestos with a silver backing which is attached to a spring type clip that attaches to the solenoid.
I have one but don't have a Sprint!
Wanna picture?

Re: Starter Motor Cover
Nah, the standard one is nothing like so comprehensive, only partly protects the solenoid and wiring, I had one but sold it!MIG Wielder wrote:Is it one of these you have over the starter motor ?

Oh wow, that is underwhelming! I think I'll knock something up myself!
Re: Starter Motor Cover
There are a number of universal heat shields available on Ebay or the usual tuning firms. Usually an heat proof sheet that wraps around the starter with ties to fix it.
Not a very good picture of mine looking end-on at the new starter, but you get the idea.
