Default Help - going on my 3rd Flywheel :(

Folks - Can anyone point me in the right direction my TWM / Accel Gen 7 set up. The short story is i am now on my 3rd starter and and second Flywheel. After not being able to start it a year ago, I noticed that the powermaster starter seemed to have "popped" out and not only did I have teeth missing on the flywheel, but one of the flywheel bolts was sheered off. FYI..the car does not even have 600 miles on it yet.

So last year, new starter(s) (first an OEM, then I went to RobbMC).....and a new flywheel (both old and new are aluminum). About a month ago, went to start my car and the starter just spun....looked inside and noticed at least 9 teeth on the new flywheel missing.

I have talked to quite a few folks and some seem to think it has to do with timing and kick back upon starting which I am beginning to believe.

ALSO, I did not put the system in and for right now, I have no technical information or computer disk etc. I would like to possibly fix this once and all myself but wondering your thoughts on just where to start.

(yes, I could send the car out to someone, but the cost may be more than I can chew and i don't learn a thing)

Any help appreciated,

Kramer
