Re: 1951 250 strange noise from bell housing

Wish it was that simple. This car has been modified and does not use the vacuum switch on the carb. It uses a push button for the starter. It is definitely not the starter trying to engage. Heard that more than a few times and that is nasty.This is just a light tinging noise that comes and goes, has everyone baffled.Have reworked the starter several times, tried shimming it out a bit from the bellhousing, tried different starter from another 288, no difference.
