Hi Ian,
Sounds just like mine! I figure this is pretty much normal for the Marelli
starter. A Bosch probably won't do the same thing on a stock engine. As long as
the "hang time" isn't too long (a second or two) it shouldn't be a problem. Much
longer and things will really start to heat up. However a smoking starter is
definitely cause for alarm. My starter has never been apart as far as I can
tell, it would be interesting to see what difference a rebuild would make.
Cheers,
Charlie.

When I start my 70 Ambo it starts right up but because the battery is getting older there is a slight hesitation on the starter when I hit the starter button. It is almost like the engine starts to turn...hits maximum compression and then stops moving for a second and then turns over and fires up. My question is......Am I risking burning something with this starter getting hung up? I keep thinking that while my finger is pressed on the starter button and the engine isn't turning there is something getting hot.
