🔌 Function

Cranks the engine by driving its pinion into the flywheel ring gear and turning it fast enough to fire.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

  • Slow, laboured cranking, often worse when hot
  • Solenoid clicks but the engine does not turn
  • Grinding or whirring as the pinion engages
  • Starter spins without engaging, or stays engaged after firing
  • Burnt smell and hot cables or terminals after cranking

🛠️ Service Notes

  • Because the number it replaces was listed as a remanufactured unit, confirm on ordering whether the current part is supplied new or remanufactured
  • Check the battery condition, main cables and earth strap before condemning a starter - most slow cranking is supply, not motor
  • Inspect the flywheel ring gear teeth for damage before fitting, and isolate the batteries while the starter is off
