Title: reliant starter motors Post by: brains on November 01, 2009, 03:33:37 PM any one know what type of starter I need for my 850 reliant lump . just changed the engine complete ??? with the fly wheel that came with it . fitted my original starter which was a pre engaged type (the gearbox had been drilled to suit it) the starter now does not engage the fly wheel. I have checked the teeth on the fly wheel and they are all OK. so I think i must need the correct starter ... but which model number ? can anyone help please ....

Title: Re: reliant starter motors Post by: brains on November 01, 2009, 03:39:39 PM maybe but how do i find out what one to get as the factors dont even list the starters any more ?

[/quote are you getting just a whizzing noise??? that could be just a flat battery. try removing the starter and wiring direct to a set of jump leads and see if it throws the dog gear out as far as im aware all flywheels are the same. Title: Re: reliant starter motors Post by: tbone on November 01, 2009, 04:49:30 PM There are only 2 options, inertia or pre-engaged.
The pre-engaged unit is used on mini`s too. who`s part number do you want for reference? Autostart A810 Bosch 0 986 020 151 or 9 004 475 314 Delco DRS3368 GKN 4091 Hella 8EA 730 207 001 Lucas LRS536 Marelli MRS525 QH FRS128 Sovereign SS810 Unipart GXE4527 Valeo VS150 XL X913368 And as a side note, I detest these modern motor factors that insist of desposing of old catalogues the second a new one is published!

Title: Re: reliant starter motors Post by: brains on November 01, 2009, 06:11:17 PM thanks guys I knew you could help . I have hopefully solved the problem as the guy I got the engine from also still has the original starter . just need to pick it up thanks again

Title: Re: reliant starter motors Post by: Manky Monkey on November 01, 2009, 07:57:34 PM Aren't the flywheels different for pre-engaged & inertia starters?
Title: Re: reliant starter motors Post by: tbone on November 01, 2009, 09:14:35 PM erm, i dunno. I cant see any reason for them to be different but......
Title: Re: reliant starter motors Post by: Manky Monkey on November 02, 2009, 08:36:45 PM I've never compared them, but remember a conversation with someone once when we were talking about how noisy the inertia type are -they engage with a great clang of metal on metal. Pre-engaged obviously sound a little more civilised when they start. Can't even remember who I was talking to, but they said if you switch to pre-engaged, make sure you swap the fly wheel too.

Title: Re: reliant starter motors Post by: snafu on November 03, 2009, 12:36:10 AM In the dim distant past I vaguely recall that the was an engine fitted with an inertia starter, with this type
of starter there is a lead on the teeth of the ring gear on the side where the pinion engages, there was a conversion to fit a pre-engaged starter that involved flipping the ring gear (in practice a new one) so there was no lead on the teeth where the pre-engaged pinion engages. Can any one remember what vehicle this was on ??? |
