Top mount starter jamming.
I purchaced a rebuilt 572 gm talldeck motor with top mount trs starter. Tried cranking the motor( not yet in boat) and the starter is jamming against the flywheel. Swapped starters and bellhousings same result. I did not count teeth will do that in the morning. Is it the wrong flywheel or am i forgetting a step.
thanks chris |
Flywheel. The teeth are on opposite side. At least you didn't get it in the boat. You'll likely need a neutrally balance one also. What did the flywheel come off from? |
I sold an engine with flywheel and didn't realize it was going in a block mount bravo app and the buyer ran into same problem after engine install. That was an oh shxt moment when I got that call. If you have the correct flywheel for the engine you can pull the fly wheel and flip the ring gear to opposite side. Torch and or conventional oven comes in handy. |

starter should be reverse rotation.....correct!

Flywheel is 168 tooth. It engages but jams https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...0ee5170959.jpg.

I have tried 2 different bellhousings and 4 starters same result. Can i use this fly wheel off a 454 mag?

why is there a washer in between the starter and bellhousing, looks like its sitting at an angle, starter should flush mount to the bell.
