Magnetti Marelli MT21T Starter - Solenoid Play?

Post by csullivan67 »

Magneti Marelli MT21T Starter for 330 series

I noticed approximately 1/16" of spring loaded play between the starter casting and the solenoid. The three small screws that attach the solenoid to the casting are all tight. Is there supposed to be any play between the casting and solenoid?

The starter was reported to have been overhauled by a specialist several years ago. My experience is limited and the amount of movement the solenoid has seems strange. Let me know if this is normal, or if the starter needs another specialist rebuild. Thanks in advance.

There should be no play between those parts, the rebuilder possibly replaced the 3 screws with ones that are too long.
