No start/ weird grinding noise
13b engine with a new starter, resurfaced flywheel & new clutch. I have driven almost 1000 miles and it always started. Its never happend before, but I tried to start it and something is grinding. How do I upload a video?

[QUOTE=mwalters;11104 How do I upload a video?[/QUOTE]
You need to upload your movie to a site such as youtube or photo bucket or what ever then you enter a link in this thread to what ever movie you want people to see .. the videos aren't stored at rx7 club. but photos can be uploaded direct by clicking on the manage attachments button below the reply to thread box where you are replying to a thread or starting a new thread . I hope that makes some kind of sense.

Didn't check video but if it's what I think it is then it happens to me every now and then. Your flywheel teeth aren't fully reaching the starter teeth at one point or another and it just happened to land there which should be causing a loud grind. I usually move the shifter from 1st to 2nd and back again just to get whatever bit of rotation i can and hit it. Usually starts up. Depending how worn your flywheel teeth are you might have to get out and turn the pulleys a bit. I've never had to do that though. Hope this helps
Just realized there is no vid lol

Thx fellas, I charged the battery, still did not start, however I pushed the car so as to kick start it with the clutch and it turned on. Going on day 3 and it starts as it normally should. Hopefully the gas prices can come down a bit so I Can go on some cruises/top down The barrel of oil dropped to $83 today and the last time it was this cheap, the gallon of gas was at about $2.40 Figure that out. Montreal here I come..Interational jazz festival....
