Hi Guys do I need to grease the gear that engages the flywheel? Do you also know where the solenoid for the starter is mounted? |

I don't. Grease will mix with dust from the clutch plate with the potential to gum things up.... The solenoid lives on a bracket that attaches to the upper front of the transfer gear case. The solenoid to starter cable is generally stiff enough to set the location if you bolt one end to the starter... Cheers, Ian |

What Ian said. But I put powdered graphite on the splines inside the pinion assembly. |

This is the location and angle for the 1973 GT starter solenoid. Attachment: YG2S8 1392 engine 1206-1063.jpg With the introduction of the Clubman range the starter solenoid was attached to a bracket between the engine steady and block. But for some reason all the 1206 series engines had the starter solenoid bolted to the transfer case. I think it was to give more clearance from the clutch breather hitting the steady bracket. This was the position for the 9FXEY, 1200 and 1205 GT engines. Attachment: 9FXEY, 1200 and 1205 series GT engines.jpg Here is a Clubman Van showing the bracket that goes between the engine steady and block. The same bracket was used in the Leyland mini range as well. Attachment: 1971 Clubman Van engine.jpg

They originally had a push button start but the push button function was deleted in late 68 / early 69 when the UK built No 76766 was dropped for the local version No 62933009. Quality is a bit hit and miss with the repro ones. Some last a few months and others have no issues. |
