🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta starter pinion from the Starting System group, weighing 0.202 kg and listed for 2 applications on D series engines. It is the drive gear that throws forward to meet the flywheel when the starter is energised.

🚤 Compatibility

Typically suits:

  • Volvo Penta D9A2A
  • Volvo Penta D9A2C
  • Engine Family: D

⚙️ Key Features

  • Starting System drive component
  • 0.202 kg
  • 2 applications on D series engines
  • Companion to starter motor 3838860 on the same D series engines

🔌 Function

Engages the flywheel ring gear the moment the starter turns, cranks the engine over, then withdraws again once the engine fires so the running flywheel cannot drive the starter.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

  • Grinding or crunching when the key is turned
  • Starter whirs but the engine does not turn
  • Pinion teeth chipped, hooked or rounded off
  • Pinion sticking forward instead of returning after a start
  • Matching damage on the flywheel ring gear teeth

🛠️ Service Notes

  • Inspect the flywheel ring gear before fitting a new pinion — worn teeth on one will quickly ruin the other
  • Starter motor 3838860 is the complete unit for the same D series engines if the drive end is beyond repair

📦 Condition

  • Genuine Volvo Penta part
  • Brand new
  • Supplied in original or equivalent packaging
