  1. Electrical, Chassis & Lighting
    I replaced the entire gauge cluster on my 86 Spider. Didn't mess with anything else other than the 4 connectors for the gauge cluster. When I went to test it after plugging everything in, lights on the dash turned on, then I went to crank it and nothing. No crank, no clicking, no lights. Now...
  2. Spider - 105 & 115 Series (1966-1994)
    My car is 1971 spider 1750 with Weber carbs and an intermittent starting problem. On accassion the key would not advance to the start position, the steering lock would release, the key would turn to the on position and but would not advance furrther. Back it off, try again and most frequently...
  3. Spider - 105 & 115 Series (1966-1994)
    Have been going through old posts looking for something similar but not finding any answers. Replaced the starter on a "86 Spider and car started a few times. Then sometimes it would start sometimes it wouldn't. Then would start with a jump now it won't. Checked grounds and starter wires...
  4. Spider - 105 & 115 Series (1966-1994)
    Greetings, I have starter questions. Just reassembled the car and filled the radiator, the crankcase, new battery, unplugged the coil wire, trying to bring up the oil pressure on a new engine. Turned the key, had dash lites on then silence. Read several posts about similar problems, cleaned...
  5. Spider - 105 & 115 Series (1966-1994)
    I thought I would share this story with others who can laugh with me on this one. I took my Spider up to the Caffeine and Octane car show at Perimeter Mall in Atlanta this weekend. Did fine for the hour drive up to the mall, no issues, beautiful morning chasing the sunrise on the interstate...
  6. Alfa Romeo Parts For Sale & Wanted
    Just purchased last week from Vick Auto. Unfortunately won't fit with my CSC headers. Cannot return because of a couple very minor scratches on the sticker label and some fingerprints trying to install in my car. Still brand new and never used in box. For more info, see link below. Starter...

    Anyone know whereI can source a new bendix for a Lucas starter for my 59 Veloce spider? Thanks,
  8. Alfa Romeo Montreal
    BBers, As many know, I bought my Montreal with the engine bay in pieces and have been trying to put back the jigsaw puzzle without a finished reference. I do have a lot of good reference pictures for where things go in the engine bay, but no detailed pic of the starter solenoid wiring...
  9. Alfa Romeo Montreal
    All, Getting very close to (finally) putting the motor back in the Montreal. I now want to install the starter on the engine and, for the life of me, cannot figure out the mounting. I bought the Monty with the engine taken out and apart and cannot find any schematic from the parts diagrams or...
  10. 164 & 168 (1991-1995)
    Hi, Helping a friend with his 1993 164 twinspark. It seems to have some dodgy wiring on what looks like a 3rd party alarm system, where some wires look to be missing from a relay in the boot. It worked fine until he removed the battery to charge it but the wires must have been loose as after...

    I am on the hunt for any original, new service parts for my Sprint GT's Bosch starter motor and I hope that these items are still out there, somewhere. I have not taken it apart yet but I hope to refresh as many parts as possible during the course of the rebuild. Items most likely to be of...
  12. Spider - 105 & 115 Series (1966-1994)
    Now, I love instant gratification but.. I can hear what sounds like the starter catching on the running engine. I just installed a euro intake cam and made sure cam timing was set properly (102). I set the engine timing to 37 degrees at 5000 RPM using an advance timing light. Now the engine...
  13. Spider - 105 & 115 Series (1966-1994)
    Hello everyone! I'm trying to diagnose a strange starter noise my 83 Spider started making within the past week. When we left for a week for vacation, it started fine although it took a little help from the throttle (bad aux. air valve, I know) and there was something that sounded like mild...
  14. Spider - 105 & 115 Series (1966-1994)
    Well I was working on my 77 spider wiring a radio and now somehow the car won't turnover. Never had a starting problem before. Battery is charged fully and all lights and gauges work. There is a new buzzing sound from under the bonnet with the key in the on position. Any ideas from someone who...

    I need a starter in good working condition to get my 750 giulietta 58 back on the road asap. It takes 3 weeks for my local shop to rebuild it. I am looking for a gear reduction after market starter, or original rebuilt ones. I am in Orange county. Many thanks

    Hi Spider 1974 Just fitted a recon starter from centerline. Worked fine for a month. Tried to start car this evening and starter did a couple of reluctant turns, then ceased to respond at all, no click, nothing. Got out to take a look and there was a fine plume of smoke coming from the region of...
  19. Milano/75 (1985-1993)
    Several people on here have recommended that I try and bypass the ignition switch to determine if it is the culprit for my Milano's issues starting. I'm ready to go ahead and do this, but I'm having trouble finding anything more than vague instructions on how to do this. I've found the junction...
