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 .... |

Maybe wrong amount of teeth on the starter dog? I think you can still buy the new dog for it .

[/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. |

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!

Sort of....although the early mini`s did use an inertia starter its not the same as the reliant, the mounting holes are closer together, 4.5" as opposed to 5", 1098 minors use the same one though. |

Aren't the flywheels different for pre-engaged & inertia starters?

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.

Probably meant the flywheel ring-gear, not the actual flywheel, Morrag

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 |
