Triumph Toledo starter

#1 Post by Pearce »

Hi need a bit of advice, have put a 1500 dolomite engine in my Toledo and am struggling to get it started. Starter turns over but a little slowly could this be a wiring issue or starter issue any ideas happily received cheers Carl

Dolomite 1500 starter with solenoid attached and its the flywheel that was on the dolomite 1500 engine when I got it.

If it is slow turning over and the battery is sound, make sure you have a good engine earth before blaming the starter.
