c77 1964 Starter

[MARG]

Hi guys, new here, I've just pulled a 1964 c77 Dream(Canadian) out of storage after owning it for 10 yrs. 6000 miles last plated 1980. I went through it then it started and ran well first kick, it's been a real joy, all lighting and everything works. The starter spins freely but does not engage is this just from sitting or do I have to dig in behind the alternater? Is this common, I have another motor here that I can rob from. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. Glen French

Where do you live?
Your problem is more than likely the SPRINGS/ROLLERS behind the stat or. ...................lm

LM is right on the money. Those rollers and springs in the starter clutch are pretty fussy. I rebuilt a '67 C77 last year and the starter gave me no end of trouble until I bought a clutch overhaul kit, cleaned everything up, and put in the new parts. Not a lick of trouble since then.
