What parts make up a starter motor?

Modern starters include: * the starter motor... a motor * the solenoid, which engages the electrical current to the starter AND engages the gear to the flywheel. * the bendix, which is a gear that engages the starter to the flywheel.


Where is the starter on an Acura 1998 3.0 CL?

the same place all starters are located against the flywheel.


Can you use a starter off of a 1987 2 9 v6 bronco II to replace the starter on an 1992 ranger xlt 4 0 v6?

The starters will not interchange. The starters do not align with the bolt holes and flywheel.


Will any Chevy starter fit both 168 and 153 tooth flywheels?

No. Chevy uses a number of different noses for their starters. The size of the flywheel and year and model of engine determine what nose is needed. The 153 tooth flywheel is smaller in diamaiater than the 168 tooth flywheel. If you want to use a starter from a 168 tooth flywheel on a 153 tooth flywheel the nose from the smaller flywheel starter will have to be exchanged onto the larger flywheel prior to using it.


Where can you locate the Starter on a 89 Mercury Topaz?

All starters are somewhere near the flywheel or flexplate, as the starter turns the flywheel or flexplate. That is located between the transmission and engine, but not visable. You will find a heavy gauge wire attached to the starter that will directly or indirectly run back to the battery positive terminal.


Where is the starter relay on the 1995 Ford Windstar?

It's actually on the starter, and it's the small cylinder attached to it. Windstar starters have a dual-purpose solenoid that not only engages the starter gear with the flywheel, but also acts as the starter relay.


Where is the starter at in the 97 Kia Sportage?

All automotive starters are located at the point where the engine block meets the transmission. The gears of the starter must be engaged with the teeth on the flywheel when the starter is turned over, the power of the starter spinning turns the flywheel which moves the crank and thus moves the pistons for ignition. so, to answer this question, look around the bellhouseing of your transmission and you'll spot it.


What starter is needed for a 350 Chevy engine with casting number 3970010?

Most of those engines were drilled for either starter bolt pattern. What matters is that you get the right starter for the size flywheel you're using. The 153 tooth and the 168 tooth require their own starter nose cone. Except for the aftermarket gear reduction starters which are usually drilled for either flywheel.


What is the difference between a Chevy 168 tooth flywheel an a 153 toothed flywheel?

Just as the name implies the 168 tooth flywheel has 168 tooth ring gear and the 153 tooth flywheel has 153 teeth on it's ring gear. In the "old days" of high performance the manual 4 speed transmissions allowed a larger diameter 11" clutch to be used with the higher performance engines with the larger 168 tooth wheel. In addition to this the larger diamater flywheel gives the starter better mechanical advantage to turn over high compression engines because of the greater number of teeth on the larger ring gears. Chevy uses a number of different starter noses on their starters. This is the aluminum piece that the bendix gear is in at the "business end" of the starter. This nose is the piece that mounts the starter to the block. This nose is the part of the starter that moves the starter motor in closer to the flywheel on the 153 tooth and farther out away from the flywheel on the 168 tooth wheels. I believe the starter motors are mostly the same except for the HD starters which have a longer stator and rotor for the high compression engines of "the old days". These longer starters allowed the starter motors to develop more torque to turn the higher compression engines over to start them.


FWhy does F150 starter burn out?

Starters can fail over time, or a broken tooth on the flywheel could be causing a bind. If the starter is failing over and over and is an aftermarket type, then it may be necessary to change back to a factory starter replacement.


How can you move the ring gear on a flywheel?

It's one piece but they have different diameters if it doesn't match up with your starter you may be able to get a starter to match with is easier to change. Example 350 400 Chevy takes different starters and flywheels although they make starters that will fit both depending on which holes you use to mount starter to block.
