I am rebuilding a 1500 MG Midget engine out of a Midget 76, built in 11-75, that has an actual 36,000+/- miles. I have had some weird problems but overcame them. A few months back My son ordered and paid for a brand new starter for his 79 MGB. The starter on the midget (although only 36K miles) is 30 years old. The MGB did not need a starter and is still in the sealed package. I've had it for almost 6 months and could get some of the cost back if I talked to my parts house. However, will the starter fit into the 1500 Midget engine? It looks similar and the Midget starter seems weak but working. I have seen starters advertised that are stronger and turn faster... whats your opinion and advice.
