[Vwdiesel] starter question

[lbaird119 at aol.com]

  First check your electrical connections on the pos and ground cables (both ends).
The kicking out would be a bendix (starter drive) going bad or weak power to the 
starter.  The hard starting hot can be a bad connection or an issue with the 
brushes or bushings.  
  If you were fighting the pump timing then it may be too far advanced.

Subject: [Vwdiesel] starter question


Hi all,
   I got my Rabbit diesel running after screwing around all Winter with the 
njection pump. The car runs good now. The starter starts the car fine when the 
ngine is cold, but when the engine is warmed up after driving and I shut it off 
he engine turns over really slow. The starter also sound like it pops out of 
tarting when it's cold occasionally. I suspect it's a starter problem because I 
eally worked over the starter trying to get the car started various times over 
he last 6 months. So does this sound like it could be the starter failing. I 
lso thought it would be easier for an engine to be turned over when warm verses 
old.
Thanks
Dave
