I've been thinking about replacing my starter now too.

I have a problem in that it is drawing too much current. I had this same problem with my wife's TR6, the engine should start, but the starter is drawing so much current that it robs the spark of power and it won't fire. I replaced her starter and the car fired right up.

Now with my JH I crank the car over and it is only when I release the key from the start position that the car fires and runs.

Do the gear reduction starters have the 12v wire that comes from the solenoid and goes to the coil the way the Jh does?
