Turbo Mini Forums

Wondering if you can put a 1275 flywheel on a 998 and will it run?

Also the 998 in the older type clutch set up, so would it make anydiff putting the later type on?

I put a 1275 flywheel on, and the later clutch set up on, an older engine.Wondered if the chank was different cos when you start it makes a grinding noise, and the start motor is like solid to get out!

cheers

Hi,
You need to keep the same starterv motor to the same flywheel.
998 starter with 998 flywheel
1275 starter with 1275 flywheel
Failing that you need to start fitting new ring gears

Hi,
It's not so much the case of 998 or 1275. It's verto and pre verto.
If you have a pre-verto flywheel you need an inertia starter (just a big round drum)
If you have a verto clutch you need a pre engauged starter ( smaller body, with a piggy back solenoid ON the starter)
Otherwise as I said above, you'll need to fit a new ring gear

same ring gear for the clutch or the engine, or the one that come off?

Hi,
Ring gear has to match the starter, nothing else :)

If your not sure which starter to use count the teeth on the ring gear. From what ive found 107 teeth means inertia starter 129 means pre engaged starter.

if you change ring gear you should also balance the flywheel

if you change the ring gear what effect does it have on the other gears do they need to be changed or will you get away with it

its not in the actual gearbox mate - its just to mate it with the starter motor

verto comes in either pre engaged or inetia, later typeswere usaly pre engaged.

easiest way to tell is pre flywheel teth are straight across weres inteia are angled

always looking for them bigger bunches of bannanas

everything seems ok apart from undoing the nut on the end of the clutch and crank that was so so tight for edges!

everything looks the same problem it looks like the starter is just getting on the end of the teeth and not push far enough across?? any ideas
