Starter gear

The starter installed and rigged.

New gear installed in the starter and ready to assemble.

Picture of the new starter gear.

This is a picture of the new seals in the starter end plate. The boss on the left hole had to be machined to accept the new style of seal.

This is the starter gear. The big gear is run by the starter motor and the small gear (one that's all chewed up) engages with the crankshaft gear during engine starts. The gears end up looking like this when the starter is rigged incorrectly and begins to spin before it has full engagement with the crank gear. I had rigged rigged this system last winter, but evidentally the damage was already done at some point in the past.
