Hancock - Head Chateauroux}1/MJ.3.12.30. re. 25 HP. STARTER MOTOR. We have got a definite slipping with this starter motor, with an engine dead cold. This probably has come about with the higher compression. It would therefore be advisable if the main spring could be made stronger to cope with the extra load placed upon the starter.
