Which is the bigger gear in the starter?
The bigger gear should be the input side of the starter clutch, and engages the rotor through the half of the clutch mounted to the back side of the rotor.
Why does the starter spin but not turn the engine?
If the large gear is spinning, removing the motor was a coincidence. Unless, somehow, the starter motor is running backwards. That could only happen if you reversed the brush connections after you cleaned them. Looking at the gears, does the large gear spin clockwise when the starter runs?
How does the starter turn on a motorcycle?
The starter fits into the first gear, which drives a second gear, called the idler. That idler gear turns the clutch gear. That means the direction reverses twice, so the starter should turn counter-clockwise as you look at the output end, same as the engine.
What happens if you fail to install a Super starter?
In all models of the Super Starter®, the relationship between the starter pinion and the ring gear is important for proper operation. Due to the starter’s high operating torque, failure to install correctly will usually result in starter and/or ring gear damage. Be sure to check the following items before attempting to use your Super Starter®.
Why is my starter not engaging the flywheel?
Tighten the mounting bolts and other connecting wires. If the mounting bolt is loose, the starter drive will not engage the flywheel properly. It will make a grinding noise when you try to fire up your engine. What this means is that the pinion gear on the starter is clashing with the ring gear on the flywheel. Check the pinion gear.
Why does the starter gear not turn on?
This restrains the gear from turning on the bendix when the bendix shaft is initially rotated by the starter motor. So, as the into engagement, because the gear will slide before it will turn. Once it gets to gear, it has no option but to turn, it has nowhere further to slide. When the down the shaft fully, and is not forced into engagement.
What should I do if my starter is not working?
The starter pinion gear engages this wheel to make your car engine crank. Remove the starter motor and set your transmission gear to neutral. Rotate the crankshaft manually using a ratchet. There is a pulley at the front or bottom of your engine block. The pulley should move as you watch how the pion gears are reacting.
Why is proper alignment of starter gear important?
“The idea of proper clearances when setting up your starter pinion in relation to your flywheel or flexplate ring gear will help to ensure a long life for the gear set, as well.
