    Pinion gear on starter won't disengage from ring/flywheel

    Hi. 1977 M885 with 318 - Starts but the pinion is stuck and the engine is spinning it up. Yikes.. We were hunting down mechanical reasons but now we're thinking it might be electrical - like the solenoid is still energized with the key in the ON (not start) position. Is this a thing? Thanks...

    wheel/tire options - budget minded?

    Hi Springer, New here. My 16yo son just bought a 77 M885 and we're dealing with wheels. We're about to (hopefully) open up the center of some 16" wheels and I wanted to ask for tips. Do they just get machined away, or do they somehow keep the rolled edge? Thanks much.
