33 year old glue gave up and the magnets decided they wanted to spin around.

Are you sorry for what you said to your starter motor now or do you stand by it? :P

Are you sure the glue was 33 years old? I've opened a few things to find 'Oh no, not again' stickers in there. Mainly speedometers on older cars it must be said.

That's outrageous- I might be motivated to pull my starter motor and check for similar defect;on second thought, those carbs are in the way,so I guess that I'll just wait and not go looking for trouble.

Well within the 50 year warranty, it seems. Send it back.
