High torque starter Motor problem
Turbo Mini Forums

so i bought this high torque starter ages ago.

worked great on my rover mini flywheel, this new flywheel it keeps slipping.

i then bought a med type flywheel from memory, so everything was new.

it seems to dislike the ring gear sometimes it just spins and does not properly engage. The only way , move it a bit to turn the engine and try again. Sometimes it needs a couple of attempts.

either Ultra Light Verto steel flywheel kit MED verto steel St1 or what is below

now credit to med they gave me a refund helped so much.. NOT KNOCKING THEM AT ALL but i have this perfectly great starter sitting there doing jack all for a year now.

i would like to get this to work but i don't know what to do or have the skills to do it.

they sent me a slotted adapter plate & it never fixed it, i got some skimmed of the plate to bring the starter closser then it missed all together lol. im lost.

any idea's what is wrong my old starter works fine on the new flywheel set up though.

uploading some images now.

That is for an inertia flywheel with 107 teeth. Either change the ring gear or the starter.

so i counted the teeth and there is 9?
why did i never think to do that before!!! i think that has got the wrong ring gear on the starter? Lynx? do they make these?

should it be 11?

wish i knew this pity im on the other side of the world.

where could i find a ring gear for this then? any idea's? seems i had the same problem as you paul! lol

Yes, MED must have mixed them up. To give them credit they change mine over, no questions asked.

This is what you need:

I think a easy way would be to change the teeth in the end of the starter, it's held in only by a circlip. They are all the same.
