Re: Newb with 52 Pick up

It was leaking gas... swapped out the fittings and it's all good now. Couple more questions:

1. Starter gear teeth seems to occasionally not hit the fly wheel making spin grind noise. From youtube videos I've seen that doesn't seem to be uncommon. Is there any tips to help with this not happening as much? Or is that another thing that you kind of have to live with? When I first got it I thought I had fried the starter because of that sound.

2. My driver's side seems to sit about an inch lower than the passenger. Just lost some spring there?

3. See attached photos. Any idea what this is? My guess is it's a broken knob for a fan speed. Sits just to the left of the steering column. When the key is on, it's drawing power and the metal in it gets hot as hell. Made the mistake of touching the top of the exposed nut after a drive. I decided it's best just to disconnect it for now.

Thanks!
