are the 1927 starter 710C and 710D the same and 6V
spins fine when not engaged but as soon as the bendix kicks in it stalls and does not spin
engine hand cranks easy, have plugs out but the starter can't do it
all I can think is the starter is 12V yea/nay
help/thanks ron
did some research since this post earlier tonight, chevy was 6v until 54-55, so it has to be a 6V starter

Sounds like not enough of amps are getting to the starter, put a voltmeter on the starter and see what the voltage drops to when you try to start. Then you may need to voltage drop you cables, both pos. and neg.

Yes, as you confirmed, both starters are 6 volts. That type of problem is fairly common. Your looking at either battery, cable or just a tired starter issue. Tired, worn starters will work ok on free run test, but under load will reveal their issues. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns, I'd be happy to help.

Take a look inside your starter and see on the rotor and pole. If you can see some shiny or glossy parts, the rotor hits the pole. The cause can bee worn bearings, bent shaft or starter parts not in line. A solution is remove the pole and grind of a little on back side of the pole.It works for me.Do not use jumper cable.Use heavy cable screw on the starter and battery. ![[Linked Image from img600.imageshack.us]](http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/3458/sam0063copy.jpg) Arvid

Had similar problem on my 28 with same starter. Turned out to be an internal wiring problem. Cost me $55 to have the starter rebuilt at DC Grove Electric in Fox Lake, IL. Great place to do business with. Now it turns over like an airplane propeller.
Also, check your battery cable to make sure it is right gauge. 6V works best with 2 or 0 AWG cables (O is welding cable and is too thick to maneuver and bend so go with 2, which is still tough to work with, but turns the starter over like an airplane propeller).

I changed my battery cables over to very fine braided welding cables. I've never had any problem starting since then.
