How to measure and calculate the Starter Specifications.


<---- Front

Pinion at Rest

Correct pinion & ring gear clearance is needed before starting the engine. If this is not correct, damage will occur. With the starter motor disengaged and mounted correctly, the pinion to ring gear clearance (Outer of mesh) should be 2 to 2.5mm See figure 1

Before fitting the Starter measured from the Contact Edge of Drive Plates Ring Gear to the Front Edge of the Starter Pinion in stationary Position. See Fig. 1

To Calculate the Outer of Mesh measure the distance from the Starter mounting face to the front side of the ring gear. A Then measure the Starter mounting face to the end of the pinion. B The difference between measurement A and B is the Out of Mesh clearance C

A....................      -     B.................... = C

If this is less than 2mm then the shim spacers will be needed. Shims are available on request.

Spigot Diameter

This is the diameter of the the spigot that locates the starter on the bell housing, engine etc as example shown in Fig 2 below.

Fig 2

Operating Voltage

Operating Voltage is the specified voltage the starter is designed for. This will be either 12 Volts or 24 Volts.

WARNING USING A 12V STARTER ON 24V SYSTEM WILL DAMAGE THE STARTER AND VOID THE WARRANTY.

12v starter can run reliably using a 16v Battery.

Rotating End Blocks

Almost all Hi-Torque Gear Reduction starters feature rotational end blocks. This gives the customer the ability to rotate the starter body to obtain the correct clearance. This is done simply by removing the two screws that hold the aluminium block on the starter body, then rotate the starter body and replacing the screws.
