i recently acquired a mid 59 TR3a. the engine spins nicely without plugs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JohmGGe7HSo (note this is done via the starter motor; it is not running)
but when i install the plugs it hardly turns at all. i'm thinking the problem is the starter motor? i'm planning on taking it down to the starter repair place on Monday (1/21/19)
here's an interesting question: although Moss says the later starter began with TS 50,000, this car is TS 525XX and has the early starter (see my pics).
i have an early TR4 and an extra starter (see pics) as well as a high torque starter destined for a 56 MGA (see pics)
anyone know how to put either of those in?
