Default Re: Starter missing flywheel

If it is a replacement starter ring gear, pull the starter and see if it is walking forward. The reproductions sometimes do not fit tight. When the starter engages it wants to pull the ring gear forward away from the stop. When installing a new ring gear. I always have them pinned. You can tap it back into place by rotating the engine. It will hold for a while.

Henry should have designed it so that the starter pulls it against the stop, not away from it.
