changing starter motors...wiering?
Turbo Mini Forums

hi

iv just changed my engine from a 998 to a 1275.
on the 998 i had the older type of starter motor.
on the 1275 (standerd mg metro lump) its the newer type.

now do i need to do anything to the wiering or is it a matter of wiring it up the same as it was with the older style starter??



cheers

You will need to link the 2 heavy cables together. So they bypass the original solenoid (make sure there well insulated). Then take the thinner 'start' wire (pokes out the side of the solenoid on a spade terminal), and extend it down to the new starter solenoid. Simple

cheers its sorted now runs like a gem but it hasent got very healthy oil pressure! (40psi tops)
i think the relif valve has got stuck as it has been sitting for 9 years that i know of, could be longer than that!!

the std relief valve is around 40-45psi.

stick a couple of washers befind the spring.

i dont think its that now!

took it out and rubed it with wet and dry and its still low. infact its at 0psi acording to the gauge at idel now! think iv just waisted a week of pissing about! not happy!

I'ts worth back priming the pump and giving the relief valve a good clean, you might find the oil press reapears,

failing that just run it? i've got a good 6 months out of an engine with almost nil oil pressure before.

its harsh as fook!
im just going to put the 998 back in but my dad is going to help me this time so it shouldnt take long.

then rebuild the mg metro and put a 286 or similar cam in it and new oil pump, re-gind the crank etc etc. also the gearbox is nackerd, falls out of revers and 4th! lol
