"That' was scary!" 🤣 Love it! I'm building a BEC out of my '67 BMW 1600-2. Any further specs on the 7-1/2" gear you used? I'm not sure how to make sure the pinion teeth and "ring gear" teeth match for meshing.
The tooth mesh between the starter ring gear and starter gear seems good- did you need to change/modify the starter motor gear to get the gears teeth to mesh right?
Excellent work. What gear ratio is in your rear axle? And do you know what gear ratio between the starter and the driveshaft? I would like to do this on my dune buggy.
Excellent job with the build! Did you have to get the driveshaft rebalanced after your modification. Also with a motorcycle engine what's the connection look like between the driveshaft and it? What kind of mph and you able to achieve
This is amazing! As long as any engine youre using is in neutral or the clutch is engaged, you could use this! But would the starter gears get worn out or spin too fast when the engine is engaged and moving forward? They would spin fast and put out a lot of power. Can that starter motor deal with that?
The starter motor gear kicks out when there's no electrical power applied. So the gear on the driveshaft is not connected to the starter when you're driving.
Hi! Would you be able to link me to any of the parts you used. I'm building a 66 Triumph Spitfire with a goldwing GL1200 motor in it and I have hit the reverse situation. Initially I was going to use a stripped down winch motor a motorcycle sprocket and chain set up but it just difficult to account for all the movement. Your setup seems like something I could follow and do. If you can't get me links just let me know what model you got the gear from and what company makes the starter so I can get this reverse figured out.
Hi, the gear was a find on Ebay; it came from a 1970's Skidoo. As long as you can find a similar size (about 7 1/2 inch dia) you should be fine. The starter is a SBC Chevy 3HP High Torque Mini starter 153 tooth.
@@mcliffhanger you are a life saver man, I bought one from. A '72 skidoo, driveshaft is in the makes but should have a setup that will work soon. Much appreciated 👍🏾👍🏾🏁
Ran into the same problem on my current build. You're solution should be both cheap and easy. Thank you for this!
U're truly an excellent teacher.
Thanks so much Sir.

Excellent video! Looks like you had some good help at the end too!
Well done!

What starter motor are you using? looking really good!
Ive just build something very similar in a way. Hows it been holding up? Still works? Has the starter fried at all??
Cost makes this maybe the most viable option available !

thats what im thingking to bcoz when the engine is running and the electric riverse is running to fast counter clock wise.
Hey where did u get the u joint and driveshaft adapter for the r1 ?
Thanks.
Where did you get the Driveshaft adapter for the Engine side of the drive shaft ?
