I don't think there were any shims on the old starter, unless they were thin and stuck to the engine without my noticing. Someone also suggested it might be loose bolts (but they seem tight to me) or maybe problems with the rebuilt starter itself (it's a Federated). I should probably remove the thing, check for shims, make sure bolts are tight. Are there any special alignment tricks I should be aware of? And might it be a faulty ignition switch, not disengaging the starter motor immediately after the engine starts?
