Subject:      starter won't disengage?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"


Seems like my starter won't disengage from the flywheel - sounds like
it's just whizzing like crazy on start up.  Can someone please help me
figure out what's wrong and how to fix it?  Here's what happened:  On
the way back into town I stopped to fill up the tank - '87 van had been
running great.  But when I restarted it it made a whizzing grinding
noise.  I got about three blocks before the van died.  Pulled the
starter out (it was completely fried) and took it to a shop to have it
completely rebuilt.  Put the rebuilt starter in and the van started
great the first time.  Second time and thereafter it made the same
whizzing/grinding noise.  I haven't driven it.  Any advice would be
appreciated.
