🔌 Function

The gear-reduction starter supplies the torque needed to crank the high-compression CMD/QSD diesel engine. The reduction drive improves cranking torque while limiting motor size and current demand.

Common signs of failure:

• Slow cranking with correctly charged batteries

• Solenoid engages but the motor does not rotate

• Pinion fails to engage or grinds against the ring gear

• Excessive current draw or overheated cables

• Intermittent cranking from worn brushes or solenoid contacts

• Reduction-gear noise, internal corrosion or water damage

📦 Condition

• Brand-new aftermarket replacement starter motor

• New and unused

• Supplied in suitable manufacturer or equivalent protective packaging
