Hello AC folk,
I would appreciate any input on the following. I noticed the other day that my starter seemed to have backed out slightly from its mounting and was a little wobbly. I loosened the lock nut and bolt, and wiggled the starter back into place, then tightened the bolt and lock nut again. Upon briefly test firing the starter I heard some metal on metal so backed out the bolt. Tried starting again and everything sounded fine. Drove for a bit then shut the engine off for a couple of minutes. Upon starting the car back up, I heard a brief metalic sound then the engine ran fine. I've backed the bolt off twice now with the same result - no metallic sound when the engine is cold, brief metallic sound when the engine is warm. Should I back out the bolt more? Back the starter out a bit? Am I hurting anything?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Greg
