Hmmwv starting issues

BRILLIANT ......my goto is tape or hot glue....did you invent this your self?

I seen a guy use a toilet paper cardboard but I only had full rolls and paper towel cardboard was too big. I guess I took someone else’s idea further. It worked really good and I had no worries about the bolts falling down the cover.

I was terrified of dropping the bolts down the cover. I cut beer can and stuck it in the hole and taped the seem so it was tight. I could use a magnet to fish bolt out without it grabbing anything else. RHW gave me a few great tips that saved me time and a better outcome. I have received so much help from good people here. I really liked how IP turned out. I think I will sell it if I ever have to change the starter… lol it looks scary.View attachment 885808

So here is what I did. I greased the bolt and theres a guy on youtube that used the inside cardboard of toilet paper role. I also placed a small rag at the bottom of the opening. The grease worked well Nd didn't have any problems with the bolts.

Just wanted to say the Camotek Start Box is a wise investment. I wasn't having any start issues even in cold, glow plugs were fine and it started, however the glow plug light would just flash 18 times. It would not give the indication the glow plugs were firing. Narrowed the problem down to a short caused by either the heavy rain it had just gone through or the cutoff switch shorting the box. If you have a cutoff switch I recommend you get this manual glow plug box it can not be shorted like the original smart start boxes which short on the circuit board.
