This question was submitted to me as a PM however I want these questions out here on the forums where everyone shares in the information and learns more about their jeeps.

Wes,
I have a 1952 M38A1 with a 12 volt starter that looks like the one in this photo.
When I bench tested the starter, the Folo-thru drive spins, but the gear does not move forward to engage the flywheel. Is this normal for this starter?
Thanks John
Usually it is only a sticky/dirty Bendix drive. This dirt is usually on the shaft the drive slides on. In rare cases it can be because the starter didn'd turn over fast enough.
Since you have a 12V Prestolite CJ5 F134 starter use the civvy CJ5 manual sm-1046 which I have several chapters of in my photo album.
See if you can clean it up, get a few good photos posted and tell us the part numbers found on the nose case, field frame, and commutator end head plate. _________________ Wes K
