Re: Starter blues
I guess it's possible that you're getting too low of a voltage at the starter to actually spin it properly, so the solenoid would connect power to the motor but it would all turn into heat instead of rotation. But usually if that is the case, the solenoid won't engage either..

Naturally. Mercedes W126 (was a 380SE but has a modified M117 in it).
So, when I took the last starter that gap was front and center FWIW. Anything I can do to make it not a problem short of replacing the flywheel? Like sanding it down smooth? It's only half a tooth that's missing.

Re: Starter blues
If the gap is front and center again when you remove this one I'd say you're in the market for a new flywheel, not sure but I don't see how it could be repaired reliably.

Re: Starter blues
You could weld up the tooth and regrind it down to be a tooth....and take the starter and get a set of jumper cables and hook power to the solenoid and ground it and see if it works...make sure you out your foot on it...it will jump around if not....
