| contd :- -2- We are returning to you the small pinion off your car 14-EX. We consider, for the moderate amount of work this car has done, the wear on the pinion is excessive. We have had considerable difficulty in getting the starter gear reasonably quiet. We still have a nasty thump on engagement and disengagement when the armature comes against its stop at either end.
