Chapter 6: Starters

Starter Cup
The starter cup can either be cast into the flywheel or
be a steel cup that is bolted to the flywheel depending
on the application.
1. Inspect the inside of the starter cup.
See Figure 6.3.
NOTE: If the starter was failing to engage the fly-
wheel, and the edges of the teeth inside the cup
are rounded, replace the flywheel or starter cup.
NOTE: If the flywheel or starter cup is replaced,
the complete starter should be replaced as well,
to prevent a repeat failure.
2. If the engine has a steel starter cup, remove it by
removing the flywheel nut.
3. Install a starter cup by placing the starter cup on
the flywheel allowing the protrusion on the bot-
tom of the starter cup to rest inside the dimple in
the flywheel. See Figure 6.4.
4. Install the flywheel nut and tighten it to a torque
of 47 - 52 ft-lbs (64-70 Nm).
