stephen grant Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Hi chaps,I promise I did try searching for this before posting....Could someone remind me what my starter motor options are for a k-series with a long primaries 4-1 exhaust (ie, my collector is outside the body)? I have the Magneti Marelli M79 with the solonoid under the starter, but I think the solonoid on it is dying and I'm just wondering what my options are. From (distant) memory I think my exhaust configuration excludes at least one option, as the primaries get in the way.Many thanks, stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Take the starter to a local repairer and just get it overhauled. Cheap enough. Great one in Chatham ... T A Spares .... but there will be one near you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A7 OOH Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I can also recommend TA Spares at Chatham, great service with quick turnaround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen grant Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 Yeah, thanks they do seem to come highly recommended. In the end I just swapped out the solenoid for a new one and...voila, no more k-click. Seems odd not to have it after 15 years of ownership! Didn't need to do anything to the starter, thankfully.

rjnewman Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Managed to replace the solenoid for 20 quid. Mine had a reference on the side which Google managed to resolve. Also got the solenoid off without removing the starter motor. However the the bolts holding the solenoid to its mounting bracket were not flush and the solenoid worked itself loose. So used some loctight and problem gone away. Hope that helps richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
