flywheel teeth?
hey guys
just replacing the rear main seal on our 40hp, and noticed two or 3 bad spots were the teeth on back(clutch side) on the flywheel have been chewed,
ill get some picks up tonight what can cause this, im guessing a new flywheel but want to prevent from happening again.
cheers

Running 12 volts through the 6 volt starter certailycan aggrivate things,
but the original 6-Volt ring gear is not hardened either...unlike the 12 volt.
You can buy new ring gears and have it shrunk onto your flywheel after machining the old one off.
REPCO used to sell them world-wide.
The other major contributor is the worn out bush in the gearbox.
I have run a 6Volt arrangement on my racecar trouble free if everything is in good shape,
but once things start to wear, it can get horrible pretty fast.

Id put that down to wear and tear over a long period of time M8.
The teeth dont have much taper or "lead" and the pinion gearteeth mashes itself into the face of the ring gear teeth when the starter is engaged.
The pinion with full solenoid pressure just rotates around a bit to allow meshing, slowly chewing them away If it had more than 2 bad areas then the
flywheel has been off the motor at some time and rotated around a bit.
You can do a ghetto fix and rotate the flywheel around so a less worn section of the ring gear faces where the starter engages and drive on happily
for another umpteen years, flop on another flywheel with a better ring gear or have the ring gear replaced on your current fly as mentioned by
Dave.

You could get a bit of life out of it if you file the teeth
just get the chewed bits off between the teeth.
works on mine
