Quick question RE: Starter motor
Turbo Mini Forums

Can anybody tell me if the later type pre-engaged starter motor (with piggy-backed solenoid) is compatible with the inertia type flywheel?

Thanks
Rich

Nope, although i believe it will work, just not that nicely!!

best getting the right ring gear and starter, you can change the ring gear on any flywheel should you want to keep that type of starter.

Thanks Iain!

Yes I agree with Iain, they do work, but from a mate that tried it, not nicely, and in his case not for very long either!!

Thanks guys, which leads me on to me next questions:

1) When the flywheel was fitted (by someone else) I can't remeber whether it was the verto or inertia type so can this be identified when starter motor removed?

2) I know I have the diaphragm type clutch so does this mean the flywheel can only be the inertia type?

Cheers Rich

The flywheel could have either ring gear fitted, metros especially had verto clutches but had both types of ring gear.

im guessing there is a tooth count but i dont know what.

All depends on what starter system you want to end up with really.

Sure somebody will have more details
