If the starter is fairly new I would recommend upgrading to a higher performance unit.
Thanks. ..might just bite the bullet and get a new unit as I don't know how old this one is. It iseems no longer produced but most likely is a rebuilt unit. If the new starter doesn't do it ill make sure to refer back to the timing.

Thanks I read this as the other option as well but was hoping I didn't have to.
