GEX 2110 | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

My 1914 seized on me. I donated it to my old High School for a project motor. Bought a 2110 from GEX. I'm running into some starter issues and battery problems. Once motor is running and you turn it off therenot enough crank to get it started again. The shop seems to think it may be a cabling problem. This seems far fetched. Anyone ever have any issues like this before?

Clean your battery connections, then the opposite ends of the battery cables (ground point and where the battery connects to the starter).

If that doesn't cure it, then get a rebuilt starter or get yours rebuilt. A "normal" shouldn't have so much compression to make starting hard, but a new engine is tighter and it may be pointing to a starter slowly going south.

I bought a GEX years ago..... Had to have it torn down and rebuilt in the 1st couple of weeks. I'm surprised that they are still in business.

I hope you have better luck than I did!
