Not sure what engine you are working on but sometimes you can roll the engine backward and get the gear to disengauge .
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.
The Mitsubishi 4G54 engine uses a flywheel with a ring gear that has 131 teeth. This ring gear is essential for the starter motor to engage and crank the engine during starting.
the bendix gear on the starter is stuck on the flywheel remove starter check bendix gear for wear if worn to bad replace starter
Take the motor out of the machine, remove the shroud over the flywheel, remove the bolt holding the flywheel on, I pounded on my ring gear to remove the flywheel. spin it as you pound, after you get the flywheel off put it on a little piece of 2x4 in the center and you can knock the ring gear off the flywheel with a hammer and a drift. When you get the new ring gear put it in the oven at 350 degrees for 20 minutes and it should fall on the flywheel. I have had to lightly tap them on after warming them.
In a starter motor, an electromagnet is used to engage the motor's pinion gear with the engine's flywheel. When the ignition key is turned, electrical current flows through the coil of the electromagnet, generating a magnetic field that attracts a movable armature. This movement pushes the pinion gear into contact with the flywheel, allowing the starter motor to crank the engine. Once the engine starts, the current is cut off, and the electromagnet releases the pinion gear, disengaging it from the flywheel.
no this is not a computer problem.it is either a starter motor problem or the ring gear on flywheel is worn
Starter motor ring gear is a large gear cog that fits around the circumference of the flywheel on rear of engine. When the starter motor spins, its 'Bendix' engages this gear to rotate the crankshaft..
A car starter is an electric motor that is used to turn the engine over in order to get it started. The motor is powered by the car battery (Typically 12 Volts) The motor turns the engine by engaging the flywheel (cog) by one or other of two means. 1/ The turning action of the motor pushes a gear into the flywheel. 2/ A solenoid attached to the motor pushes in the connecting gear. After the engine starts the gear disengages.
sounds like the ring gear or flywheel is worn if you have a manual or stick shift put it in 2nd gear depress clutch let car roll a little release clutch (the engine will turn slightly) then try starting engine. with auto transmission you will have to turn engine over with socket and ratchet bar (if you cant turn over at the drive belt by hand) if this starts your car the flywheel will need replacing... Could also be the bendix ... the solenoid that engages the starter motor to the flywheel.
The starter, upon activation, has a gear that is forced onto the engine's flywheel's gear to turn the motor over. Upon engine start or release of the start voltage the starter gear disengages.
sounds like a bad starter gear or bad flywheel
A starter moter is a high-torque electric motor for turning the gear on the engine flywheel. The modern starter motor is either a permanent-magnet or a Series-parallel wound Direct current electric moter with a solenoid switch (similar to a relay) mounted on it.
