Mike, I just re-read one post in which you state,
"The engine was running for about 30 seconds as I left the filling station then after I pulled out onto the road and stopped at the light it began to bog down (car was in gear with clutch disengaged). Idle slowly dropped down to about 600 rpm and then it died. Like it was under a load and stalled."
Still curious that the engine got bogged down so badly that it actually quit. Did you look at the starter after removal to see if the gear was locked to the starter shaft? Or any other strange observation?
