Kaiser Forum / Re: Starter hangs in flywheel

I had the exact same problem and after removing and messing with the starter a couple times, I finally took it to a proper rebuilder here in Nashville and he rebuilt it and the problem is now gone.

I replaced the sending unit in my 1954 Kaiser Special with a new one sold as a 1936-55 Ford/Merc unit and it works just fine. It fits the mounting hole and screw pattern perfectly and comes with a nice fat gasket. I bought it on line from Mac's Antique Auto Parts, Lockport, NY. Phone: 800-828-1051, Website: www.macsautoparts.com
Cost was 46.09 including shipping.
The part no. is: 99A-9275

Thanks, FID. Very helpful and logical advice. Right now I'm having the starter rebuilt. I had a feeling about the key switch, but it certainly could be the solenoid also.

Kaiser Forum / Starter hangs in flywheel

« on: April 13, 2009, 02:28:44 PM »

My car is a 1954 Early Special with automatic transmission.
My starter starts the engine ok, but when the engine first fires, the starter makes a nasty grinding sound for about a second, like it's not releasing from the fly wheel. I've removed it and cleaned and oiled the bearings, but it still does it. Doesn't matter if it's hot or cold. Any ideas on what is causing it?

Good morning. I'm looking for an "In Tank" fuel sending unit for a 1954 Kaiser Early Special. Anybody got a spare?
