Default Re: Model A Starter

Add this as #6 to post 14.
In the last 2 years I have seen 3 or 4 cars with the starter ring gear pushed off the flywheel due to the heavy impact of the starter drive engaging the flywheel.

But, like so many other posted problems, this is not happen unless you have seen it or it happened to you. In my case, I caught it before it pushed the starter ring gear completely off the flywheel. Since then I have converted several starters to 12v.
