Flywheel help
Hi all..
I purchased a long time ago a ej25 mated to a 091 kombi box. I'm having issues with the starter picking up the flywheel. The starter in using is the
cranky one. I have checked, I do have the right starter for the 2L box. It appears that the started is around 10mm short of getting the fly wheel.
Almost like the throw isn't long enough.
So I'm now thinking I must have the wrong fly wheel in there. What size fly wheel should I have? Is it just a standard 2L kombi flywheel or something
different to suit a Subaru conversion?
Thank you.

Not too sure about the ej25 and kombi box but the flywheel wouldn't be a standard kombi one as that won't bolt onto the ej25. It should have come
with a flywheel that has the ej25 bolt pattern to fit on the crank and the kombi ring gear to suit the starter motor. this is how John Sherman at
Volks Conversion does them. I don't know much about the cranky starters so not sure if they are set up to run on the subi ring gear or the vw ring
gear.

the 2 litre starter is set back 12mm further from the front engine to gearbox face than any other bus or beetle boxes if the starters is missing by
this much then it doesn't have enough throw to engage the ringgear. The 2liter starter has a longer pinion gear on it & futher back so the clutch
on the pinion doesn't hit the pressure plate. On my baja I ran the biggest clutch out of 2 litre bay on a 1600 flywheel machined for it to bolt up.
Then I had to have a spacer made up to space the stater away to the same distance as the 2 litre. If your using a standard beetle early kombi it
won't engage. I originally used an auto stater then went to 1 of Johns units similar to cranky. Never had another problem.
this is standard starter suit all 12volt up 1800
this is the 2 litre note the length of the pinion gear offset
this similar to the auto it doesn't throw the clutch out so it clears the pressure plate
 .
I hope this may explain where the problem lies
