    Is it possible that my spitfire mk 4 fitted with a 1500 engine has been fitted with a different ring gear.Since purchase I’ve discovered it’s made up of mainly 1500 parts.I’ve have not been able to start it for some time,I’ve fitted new wiring loom,up rated starter,new solenoid,tried starter (fitted loose )and it worked fine fitted starter to engine on trying to start there is just a grinding noise.is it possible it has been fitted with a different ring gear that doesn’t mesh with the starter motor I don’t know what else to try help please?

      I assume you have a standard inertia starter?

      Suggest you check it out of the car as you need to ensure inertia throws out the gear fully 

      Do you have starter leads and a bench you can test it on?
