Can engine low to high compression changes cause a starter to burn out?

Well the higher the compression, the harder the engine has to work to turn the motor over. There are specialty starters made for engines that are high compression. You best bet would be to try NAPA and see if they can supply them or at least know a manufacturer that does. For American cars it's not such a big deal but for foreign makes , sometimes finding custom parts is difficult. Good Luck.

What could cause no compression on a 87 cbr1000f in all cylinders at the same time?
Hi there, Assuming that you have ruled out the obvious (compression tester faulty) I would start off guessing it would be either 1) Starter Motor not turning engine (check engine turns by engging a gear and trying starter) 2) Cam chain broken (remove the rocker cover and check that cam chain is present and working - when cranking engine the ams should rotate.) The thing is, if this is the cause then it will be a complete top end strip - pricey, HTH Chris
What can cause cylinder compression in new engine?
The movement of the piston from BDC to TDC.
What is another cause for a car not to start besides the starter or battery?
Could be in the fuel system-not getting gas, which can come from quite a few reasons. The Ignition system may not be providing enough spark. New cars have "brains"/sensors at different locations that detect problems or become the source of the problem. More info on year/make/model & exactly what it is doing when it doesn't start is needed.Answer 2All that is necessary for a (gasoline) engine to work is fuel, compression and electricity. If there is no fuel it won't run. If the pistons do not provide compression (to the fuel) it will not run. If there is no spark (electricity) it won't run.A bad starter will cause it not to start.A bad solenoid (to turn on the starter) will cause it not to start.Bad connections at the battery will cause it not to start.Bad connections at the starter will cause it not to start.On many newer cars, something as simple as a not properly tightened gas cap will cause it not to start.No compression will cause it not to start.Dirty gas or a dirty gas filter will cause it not to start.
What would cause a 1994 Toyota truck to spin over but not fire up?
If the starter is engaging and turning the engine but the engine is not starting you have one of three problems. * Fuel delivery * Ignition spark * Compression If your engine has all three and their performance is within the normal specifications for that engine, it will start. Now you need to find out which is out of specification.
What would cause engine oil leak above starter?
It might happen because of a faulty starter gasket.
Can peeing in a gas tank or on an engine cause lost engine compression?
Into the gas tank; no. Any volume of fluid being poured directly into the combustion chamber of the engine can cause the destruction of the pistons, which will lead to compression loss (among other more severe side effects).
What will cause 4 cylinders in the same row of a v8 engine to lose compression?
Blown head gasket is one cause.
What if the ignition switch starts the starter and the engine run but unfortunately starter continues running what is the cause of this?
Probably a stuck solenoid.
What would cause low compression on a single piston engine?
The piston rings may be worn out .
Can low compression cause an check engine light to come on?
If it is causing the cylinder to misfire, yes.
Why do diesel engine has a greater noise than gasoline engine?
The fuel is ignited by compression and not by a spark plug. The compression of the cylinders is much higher than in a gas engine. The fuel must be compressed to the point at which it will ignite. This cause the noise you hear from a diesel engine.
After replacing the starter what would cause 1992 roadmaster to not start with new starter getting power and can feel starter trying to start with pulse?
Does the engine crank over?
