I've had this sitting on the shelf for about two years, and my current OEM starter is sounding very, very tired as the weather gets colder. I will probably end up getting it rebuilt, but I'd like to know if this hi-torque one will work plug and play in the meantime? I've heard of different ones having issues with orientation and/or eating flywheel teeth. For those that have used this one, what has been your experience?
This is for basic Type 4 engine: TIA  |

Congrats! Did you measure the push of the bendix before installing? I didn’t and kinda tore up a flywheel. A washer between the case and the starter reduced the distance.

A washer between the case and the starter reduced the distance. Thanks, Ian. I did do a quick comparison, and it looked good. Engine will probably be coming out in a few weeks, and I'll probably check it again more thoroughly if that was your experience. That thing cranks right up. I had read previously in another thread (from Clay, IIRC) the hi-torque action helped alleviate the D-Jet hot start challenges many of us have. I've only taken a couple of short trips in it so far (now that the sun is actually out today), but it seems that may be the case. Which is awesome, as I'll probably be more willing to run those quick errands around town with the teener when I don't have to worry about the slightly annoying hot restart each time. |
