"How does a starter work" question.
I took that old techmseh apart his weekend. I had a question. It is
electric start and has never worked that I can remember. I could always hear it spin when we tried to use it and assumed that teeth were missing on the flywheel. But this wekend when I took it apart, all the teeth were on both the pinion gear and the flywheel. When I connected the starter to voltage, it spun. The problem seems to be that the pinion gear is about half an inch or more from the flywheel gear and the two never come in contact. Is the pinion gear on the starter supposed to "move forward" when voltage is supplied to engage the teeth? What could this problem be? |
