Reviving an old thread. My Backdraft (351/427 with Powermaster Master Torque starter) displays the behavior that Texasdoc describes above. That is, once in a great while, it won't start. No solenoid click, nothing. It's not heat soak, the car can be cold when this happens.
When this does happen, the trick of putting it in gear, pushing the car a few inches, then back to neutral and starting ALWAYS works. So I think it's not electrical.
My guess is that there's a bad spot on the flywheel gear with bad teeth and if the car stops on those teeth, it won't start next time. But then I should hear the solenoid click, right?
Thoughts? Thanks.
