Ma never used a shim.that is basicaly a cover to keep crap out of the bell area.Ive run without them since the 60s and never had a problem.Most problems are caused by not having the starter seated correctly.Oh my mini in a 12.5 440 has been in for at least 15 years.Still cranks like a /6.Rocky



Rocky, I not advocating shims or grinding. just answering his questions. there is 'something' not straight or he's using the wrong mini-starter based on all I've read. I still use the good old fashion 200 lb pain in the rump stock one. why? cause I've got a lifetime warranty from National Auto from 25 years ago and someday, someday I will get to cash it in!
