Re: Starter drag?

Would point out that a 53 has a "follow-thru" starter drive--that is the drive gear will not retract until the engine starts and flings it back. If the last attempt to start the 53 failed, then the gear will not be in the home position and you will hear it as you turn the engine by hand. But once that puppy starts you better not hear it. I cant think of any conceivable way to install the starter incorrectly so would rest easy on that front.
