WHX?? 48,824 #52 Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) I noticed this when replacing the solenoid. Shims behind the starter and coil mount. From the seen it all files... hacksaw blades??? Here's why. Bendix isn't even close to ring gear. Any thoughts why? Teeth don't look all that worn. Wrong Bendix gear? Edited January 31, 2023 by WHX?? 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,556 #53 Posted January 31, 2023 Wrong starter? Bent starter mount flange? Wrong gear of course as stated... Is wrong flywheel a thing (??) You got another K181 to pop a starter off? 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My first impression is that the teeth on the starter and flywheel do not seem to have the same pitch--could be the photo angle, though. The flywheel seems to be the right diameter using the bearing plate as a reference so... I’ll go with wrong bendix gear! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You got another K181 to pop a starter off? Appears to be original Bosch starter. Starter mount looks OK and pretty stout. Tuff to bend that. No only other starter I have like this is on a '68 Raider 12. Was hoping some had one to measure or count teeth on. This one has 16 teeth. Just the pic Don they mesh fine.

May be put the starter in the vise, warm the mount up, & bend it back in shape?? Or... jamb the saw blades back in and run 'er. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

None if yer gonna come and deal with 6 inch rims... you'll sally out Yer right @ebinmaine ... taught myself some new French just getting one off. Decided well if the Pullhosen @Pullstart has some 12" rims and wants to trade for these 10's I'll just put some eights on the front. Worked to keep it a roller anyway. One thing I did finger out tho is hubs for a 10" rim have a different center diameter than 12's ??? Edited February 2, 2023 by WHX?? 4 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
