[HAM] CV - Starter motor not engaging TG - follow up

[Bohachewsky, Andrew V.]

Dirt is most likely the culprit, though a recent post indicated that if
the metal cage that holds all that together gets bent ever so slightly
you get the same symptom.

For dirt spray heavily with WD40 to clean the dirt out, maybe a little
lighter oil once the dirt's out.

Of course a little human "intervention" can help as well.

My A102 occasionally exhibits this problem, but if I just turn off then
immediately back on it always engages - at least so far, I assume one
day I'm gonna hafta open up the back.

My A100 is really bad in this way, but just a little push on the cage
assembly while it's trying to engage and it starts right up. The back's
been off this organ for nearly forever so that's easy - and I recently
broke the return spring on the start switch making this task even easier
(flip on the start, walk to the back and give a little push, walk to the
front, run to on, start to off... and it's off and spinning!

Good luck,

Andy

  Any drawings available of the whole start mechanism  i.e. clutch , 
springs ,
  anything mechanical that might be out of alignment or worn ?
