RE: NEW thread...Starting problems...now a stripped bolt hole on the block.

[Butch Edison <waedison1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks all. Got a new mini-starter and it starts fine. I did notice when I
took out the bottom bolt on the starter, it was not very tight. When I put
it back in I see why. The threads in the block are just about stripped out.
Does anyone know what the 'fix' for this will be? Thanks again,
Butch / Ferndale, WA

Sorry guys, I was half asleeo when I read this. I would still check all
wiring but I agree with the others there is probably a bad spot in the
starter.
Personally, I'd just replace it as its about due.
