I purchased a rebuilt starter from Kaiser Willys and it does the same thing. It appears to be identical as the original. I had a friend who is a mechanic look at it, and after pulling it out, put jumper cables on it. It spins fine but only seems to engage only about 1/4 to1/2 inch. He thought that the new one was defective, so Kaiser Willys was nice enough to ship it back. They claim it is fine and that they sell hundreds of starters. I reinstalled it when they sent it back, BUT still does the same thing. Not sure what to do next. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
