Is this representative of the problem? I'd assumed the car wasn't starting. car starts with no problem. it could be a belt. will check on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the connections while your bent over. Okay a comma would've been best, ..."good and tight, (coma) all of the connections while your bent over." Picky, picky, picky. If your last name isn't Strunk or White back off. I'm from Alabama. I get some leeway. Furthermore sniffing my house plants makes me sneeze. You must smoke them skunks like turkey meat.

Not familiar with it! 😁 It's part of a line from an old Beatle's song. "No thank you please, it only makes me sneeze. Then it makes it hard to find the door." But they mispronounce the word "the" a little bit, and it sounds more like "dee", At least to me... After sniffing the houseplants. https://youtu.be/Ag6wyMNLv_A?t=34 Edited December 30, 2022 by Captain Obvious 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Head Posted December 30, 2022 Share #19 Posted December 30, 2022 (edited) It's actually a Ringo song. Post-Beatles. By Hoyt Axton. He is a fascinating guy. Many bands covered his songs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_No_Song A different Axton cover... Edited December 30, 2022 by Zed Head 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racer X Posted December 30, 2022 Share #20 Posted December 30, 2022 Have you checked the starter mounting bolts? Are they tight? It sounds like the bendix is hanging, not returning as it should. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After about 10-15 seconds all the squeeling stops. I can upload another short video with sound if that would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteunseen Posted February 28, 2023 Share #22 Posted February 28, 2023 Squirt the belt(s) and pulley with Windex or something similar. See if that stops it. It does have the symptoms of squeaking belts as @jonbill mentioned earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the belt tension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Head Posted March 1, 2023 Share #24 Posted March 1, 2023 The AC belt idler pulley bearings are known to go bad. AC compressor clutch is a possibility. If you have AC. Your video was pretty short. Couldn't tell if it happened on every rev or only the start up. Seems to be starting on just a few cylinders too. Thumpa thumpa thumpa... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
