@@popgamernation8516 , The course developer and instructor Alex Muir makes money from the one time $25 fee that you pay for the entire video series. I bought it and have watched most of it, and it's definitely worth $25. It's alot of information but I've learned alot.
I can't put into words how phenomenally informative your videos are. This was carefully researched, scripted, and presented with incredible visual aids. Your channel has single handedly changed the game. Keep up the incredible work
What game are you referring to that this channel changed? As far back as I can remember all the dope pushers have always given you the first hit for free and you got that, now if you want more your ass is gonna pay. You didn't really think you were going to get an ASE Patch on your shoulder for free from youtube did you? In the next step they'll get all your information before they let you know it costs money for the rest. Personally I despise the sneaky shit and it just does not matter how awesome the course is, if they don't have the balls to let you know up front their is a price then they don't deserve my money. Besides 99.9% of youtubes audience could watch the whole course 3 times each and it wouldn't help you one bit if you took the initiative to try to repair the car yourself. If you need these courses then you have zero skills and if you have zero skills or experience then you didn't notice he didn't give you any knowledge or tips on trouble shooting it or removing it and putting it back in because it is hilarious when a rookie meets the starter and it's grease and lovely location in real life, that is why mechanics are rapists,,,,,because they always have fresh new meat walk in their doors and most people are too dumb to know when they are being screwed anyways. They have not changed the game, they're still playing the sneaky ass snake as always. If they had put " for 25 dollars you can learn everything you need to know about cars" I would gladly give them the money just to have it in my collection for reference even though none of it will help you fix a car if you're a rookie and much of the data was wrong rookie Sizzlean

My buddy sent me this with the comment "I didn't think I could watch a 27 minute video on a starter motor." I agreed that I probably would have scrolled right past it. Well, I was fascinated from start to finish and now I've purchased your video course lol These are some of the most detailed, yet easy to comprehend videos I've ever watched on a given subject. You have a gift for teaching. I'll probably go back and watch the entire series again when I'm finished, just to further engrain it.
Hands down👍🏼, I'm going to stop going to school to enter this page, the best modern mechanic page. Every time I enter this page, I know more about cars and how it works.
This has to be the most detail, easy to understand, well explained, using his high level command of the starter system and his demonstrations with actual working parts. I ran across this channel while searching for information about my 1999 Toyota Tacoma 5 speed FWD, 3.4 bbp truck. I will share this with everyone I know, since they each own a vehicle. I walking into this video with barely little knowledge and left with a stronger understanding. Great basic information for owners and operators of vehicles to have. Five Stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
CORRECTION: From Graham at Wood Auto: [...] There is pretty big mistake around 8:30 regarding the “400A” sticker on the starter motor. This “400A” is part of the Mazda part number “BPD418400A” not an indicator of its amperage. The underlying starter motor is a Mitsubishi M0T80081 starter and its only rated at 1.0kW not 4.8kW! Below is a link to photos of the OE starter (this has the Mitsubishi sticker on it not the Mazda sticker): www.woodauto.com/product/MITM0T80081 You’ll see the side photo shows the rating of the starter. You’d only really see 4.8kW starter motors on commercial vehicles. To my knowledge starter motors never show an amperage rating, they’d always show a kilowatt rating. Only alternators would show an amperage. --------- Contents guys!

I bought his whole 20+ hrs course and I can wholeheartedly recommend it. My god, I've never seen anyone explaining things better, more thoroughly and at times funnier than him. The cost-value ratio is unbelievable, this course should cost 10 or 100 times more and it would still be worth it. It's not only about cars, he also explaining fundamentals in electronics (e.g. how a battery works, what voltage and current and power is to understand the car's electronics, etc.). I really love it, it's incredible man! Note that previously I had no clue about cars or their inner workings whatsoever, but after watching the first few hours of the course I'm seriously thinking about buying a 500 euro car and tearing it to pieces to apply the knowledge hands-on. Alex, let me tell you this: whatever course you might provide in future (maybe on motorcycles or anything else also not related to vehicles), I'll buy it for sure! You're an amazing teacher, that's a gift. Love it :-)
Came past this by mistake, Usually not something I'm interested in, BUT this was so well presented and explained, I'm now a subscriber. Keep up the great work, This is a real resource!
This is insane depth on how the starter works, and insanely well explained, legitimately humbling! Amazing work I can't wait to find more videos on your channel like this!!!! Thankyou so much for such amazing content!
Immediately liked and subscribed, this is fantastic learning material made with a great amount of effort and a high degree of quality. This channel deserves more subscribers and views!
DO NOT PAY FOR THIS! it may not have started as a scam but now it is for sure! if you check social media, you will find a lot of people who ask for help and were ignored by this guy. in a few weeks the site forgot I bought the course and even if I am loged it it won't let me watch videos, offering me instead to buy the course again. no one responds emails nor messages sent to the social media profiles. also, the course is incomplete and this guy has not uploaded anything in years. and none of the site-only videos were is 4k as promised. only the free youtube ones were. there is not even an option to download the videos, so unless you know of a hackey way to do so, don't bother giving money for this. if someone finds a way to download the videos, please upload them to the pirate bay. despite all, the videos were actually quite good.
I am studying for tech school and starter and charging systems is one of the topics in lvl2. This video is 100x better than the text book. I read it then watched this, then read it again. Now it makes ALOT more sense. Probably watched this 4 times and I understand pretty good now👍.
seriously you are great !! i'm mechanical engineer, i work as a car mechanic, U just made me understand everything about starter ,like no one did thank you very much! hope you continue making videos like this
Awesome animation at the start of a "starter" video... The video is awesome. Great details. More videos please...alternators, ABS, breaks, transmission, etc...
Not all starter motors have the plunger/lever mentioned at @19:10, I have a 30 year old car that I've replaced the starter on a few times before I learned about the solenoid, but I'm good with electronics so I bypassed the worn out solenoid with a high amp relay but it works exactly the same with no wires going to the solenoid, I'm glad I did it that way cos I can start the car now with a much lower battery power, which is super useful since I have a habit of leaving the stereo on too long without the car running
Seriously one of the best formats of,for any info video/video period. EVER...didn't ever feel like 17 min...I'm simply WOWED & a wiser man. Hats off to u sir!!!
I did a Auto Mechanics diploma course back in 1980, then did other various jobs. These videos come in handy as a refresher as technology has leaped so far. Thumbs up!!
How have I not found this channel before? This is the clearest most comprehensive explanation of, well, how a car works!... It has shed light on many details I couldn't get my head round and are in fact very easy to understand when explained properly!
I'm so glad I came across your channel from the interview you had with Learn Engineering. Thank you for putting so much effort into making this series!
I'm so glad I stumbled across this video. Best one I've ever seen with good detail and great computer and real life examples! Going to watch the rest of them, I've already subscribed based on this one :)
I worked on a big diesel engine that drives a generator. Sometimes the starter failed to engage the gear. It just went thud but doesn't turn. Now it makes sense how the pinion may fail to slide into the gear slot. Thank you! This quality channel seriously deserve more subs
Wow. Not quite sure what to say...I'm a third of my way through a light vehicle apprenticeship and this is the best training on a starter motor I've received. So clear and concise and a wee bit entertaining which helps so much when you've got so much to remember. Thank you..just about to look up your site.
This is the first (but definitely not the last!) of your videos that I have watched. I'm an electrical engineer by day, and a tinkerer in general in my free time. I need to replace the starter on my 2007 Honda Fit with 300,000 miles on it. I was already familiar with all the principles you presented, but you provided that extra 20% of fascinating little details, in a wonderful, engaging fashion, to make your video very informative and entertaining! Bravo! Thank you!!! I will definitely be back for more!
The full series is only a one-time payment of $25 for a lifetime subscription!! I'm in. This series is fantastic!! Very high quality and detailed. Love it! I've learned more with their series in just a few videos than I ever would if I had gone to a mechanic school.
I had the same problem with my 1987 Toyota Corolla, there was a clicking noise when I turn the ignition on but the car won’t start. Dude this is by far the best video I’ve ever seen . You just earned a sub
As an Auto electrician (in a previous life), you have nailed this. Well done ! I can tell a great effort has been invested to make this video. Magnets have replaced shunt field windings, solenoids are sealed at the cap... (can't rebuild them anymore), reduction gears are in all units these days. Does anyone remember the Auto-lite "clapper" starters used in ford V8's ?? They certainly have changed.... from Lucas units with a Bendix drive.... to what we have now. Great work, keep it up. Cheers from Australia.
Not only are the free videos amazing, but I paid the $20 for the full course. Worth every penny! Anyone interested in learning anything related to the functionality and engineering of cars would be hard-pressed to find a channel better than this one...phenomenal work!
I have been looking at videos on YT for a really long time now and you are the first I subscribed to. To put it into numbers, in ~10yrs - 1 subscription. This is probably the most intelligent, hard-worked video I have seen till now. I wish YT had a feature like "Intelligent Quotient" for videos too. The 56 dislikes are probably from people who wanted to see a burn-out /drag, etc. I loved your explanation on planetary gears. Keep up the good work. Your videos are better than 95% of junk here on YT (that includes some of the videos i have posted too).
I’ve watched about 40 videos explaining this but have not seen one that had a demo that actually shows the starter turning the fly wheel! “Excellent video!” I had to come back and add (edit) to my original comment “you really explained everything so well I had to subscribe!”
Thankyou so much for making this video. This stuff is so helpful. Please cover all the topics for free, you can beat engineering explained and Chris fix
Awesomeness... helped me refurbishe my starter. The problem was dirt in the planet gears which I new nothing about until I watched this video. Saved me quite a bit of cash because the dealer wanted to install a brand new one for a crazy amount of cash and 8 hrs worth of labour.
I just found your channel. Excellent on every front: information, flow of the video among topics, video quality, clarity, animations, and cutaways of real equipment. I agree with another commenter: This video should have many more views. Thumbs up!
I’ve noticed he’s great at explaining things, I’m hating somewhat but I’m fighting it…always see if you can overcome jealousy…I always look for black people explaining engineering and Physics on this platform but it’s very rare that to find them..there’s one guy called Jeremy fielding and not even he comes close to the confidence and clarity and eloquence that his man has, it makes me wonder why blacks seem to be behind in academia..
These videos are truly instructive and I always learn something that I never knew about the principles of how the equipment works ! The presentation is crystal clear and the animations are beautifully done. There are other channels that focus on the down n dirty aspects of real-world mechanics, but if you want to understand the functioning principles behind things then this channel is the greatest! Thanks!
I am blown away by the quality and production of this video. The fact that it's free information is awesome. Already liked, subscribed and shared without you asking. Amazing.
I teach motor vehicle for a living in the UK. For the level you're aiming it at, this is as lovely an introduction to starters as I've seen, and lord knows I've given the exact same lesson enough. great stuff :)
I don't know how i missed this channel until today! Just brilliant!!! Super detailed, easy to understand, fun to watch. You put a lot of work into these videos, thank you so much! Amazing.
Terrific in every respect. Clear and confident explanations of the detail backed up by excellent working components modified to aid visibility and, where appropriate, clever graphics. This video could not be improved on. Many, many thanks for the effort.
Fantastic video. Really, really, really good. Great explanations and animations. The only explanation missing (which was solved with 1 google search) is why the electric motor has such a high current relative to other motors of similar power. If anyone is wondering: it has to do with the nature of electric motor startups, where back emf still hasn't reached "normal" levels. This initial phase of the motor's functioning produces more torque than in continuous operation and is thus ideal for starter motors.
This is the first timeI saw a video on this channel and I must say you are great at explaining step by step. The high quality animations and close up videos are a great combination together with your talk. Amazing Video!
This is probably the best explanation I've ever seen on this topic. Or any automotive topic to be honest. Please continue making videos, this was a huge help to my tech school studies. You're a legend.
As an Electrical Engineer and having lot of experience in auto electric system, I never saw such a explanatory lecture. Thumbs up for this man . I subscribed and press the bill icon for onward surprise from this bravo man . 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Have watched a lot of informative videos on UA-cam but hey man your explanation and energy is out of this world bro,,, it really stands out. Remarkably amazed keep the good work 👌👌👌
Great stuff. They're not that complicated at all. A while back the starter on my Passat wasn't disengaging properly after the car started. Stripped it apart, cleaned and greased it and it's working like new. Saved a refurb
Great video! As an apprentice mechanic I thank you for putting this on youtube for all to watch. I've always wondered how the insides of the motor actually worked, something I've not seen in detail (yet). Thanks again!
Wow that is seriously the best video I have seen on starter motors. Well done! Loved the graphics and examples especially the live demo of it turning over the engine.
I would like to give this video a double or triple like. I'm sure it's the best explanation of how a starter motor works. This channel is absolutelly awesome. Best of the best in youtube. Thanks!
These videos are truly instructive and I always learn something that I never knew about the principles of how the equipment works !

Thanks!
You're a great teacher and produced a very fine video - thank you! The only point which made me pause and think a moment: I was thinking of the bicycle freehub analogy and thought, "but this relates to stopping the pedaling and the wheel continues forward..we're talking about the ignition *continuing* to make the pinion engage the flywheel." Then I corrected myself and realized the analogy is actually like when you pedal downhill and suddenly your rear wheel starts going faster than you can keep pedaling, why doesn't your rear wheel force your pedals to go forward faster." I know you taught it properly, I just made a mental error for a moment and maybe that analogy will help someone else. Thanks again!
Wow! I subscribed right away. I have never watched a detailed Lecturer with information such as this. Thank you very much. Please continue to make more videos, you are helping a lot of people
Man, you are the best... as soon as i turn 18, wich isnt that far(less than 3 months) I'm going to pay 4 the classes and even offer to a few friends of mine maybe, because they are cheap and absolutely usefull. I hope you the best, because you deserve it and i cant wait to have more classes! Well done, honestly. 💪🚗
You have made a great video. Detailed explanation, physically showing each part, making to understand significance and functionality of each part. Superb. Made me to dive in to your page. Thank you for sharing the knowledge.
Very instructive and still quite simple thanks to your explanations. I'm rebuilding an Austin mini 1098cc engine, and after watching your video i can tell you that my solenoid is dead !
Excellent explanation with expression, presentation using animation, explore view, physical components, and explaining short with all adequate and appropriate technical details. I am so happy to view this video. Please continue your video upload. Thanks
More importantly, your videos are Equally entertaining along with being informative.. I'm an engineer and love your videos as they give me extra information about these things.. But I'm sure that even the person from different background will enjoy watching ur videos.. That's the great work!

I need to replace the starter on my 2007 Honda Fit with 300,000 miles on it. I was already familiar with all the principles you presented, but you provided that extra 20% of fascinating little details, in a wonderful, engaging fashion, to make your video very informative and entertaining! Bravo! Thank you!!! I will definitely be back for more!
HOLY SHIT THIS IS AMAZING!!
that's how you can make me pay for full series.
The full series is only a one-time payment of $25 for a lifetime subscription!! I'm in. This series is fantastic!! Very high quality and detailed. Love it! I've learned more with their series in just a few videos than I ever would if I had gone to a mechanic school.
@@ptaweston where do you subscribe to the series??

I had the same problem with my 1987 Toyota Corolla, there was a clicking noise when I turn the ignition on but the car won’t start. Dude this is by far the best video I’ve ever seen . You just earned a sub
You’re going to be a millionaire when people catch on to these videos
As an Auto electrician (in a previous life), you have nailed this. Well done ! I can tell a great effort has been invested to make this video. Magnets have replaced shunt field windings, solenoids are sealed at the cap... (can't rebuild them anymore), reduction gears are in all units these days. Does anyone remember the Auto-lite "clapper" starters used in ford V8's ?? They certainly have changed.... from Lucas units with a Bendix drive.... to what we have now. Great work, keep it up. Cheers from Australia.
"...it's a cylinder that looks like a bearing....because that's what it is.."
Hahahahaha, loved it.
Very nice UA-cam series guys. Keep it up!
My first video from this channel. It provides a really outstanding explanation which assumes nothing from previous videos in the series.
Great job. I signed up for your course. Thanks
Not only are the free videos amazing, but I paid the $20 for the full course. Worth every penny! Anyone interested in learning anything related to the functionality and engineering of cars would be hard-pressed to find a channel better than this one...phenomenal work!
15:15 That is a good (Wire) save my friend. And managed to keep that segment on till you pulled it back and attached it. :D
I have been looking at videos on YT for a really long time now and you are the first I subscribed to. To put it into numbers, in ~10yrs - 1 subscription. This is probably the most intelligent, hard-worked video I have seen till now. I wish YT had a feature like "Intelligent Quotient" for videos too. The 56 dislikes are probably from people who wanted to see a burn-out /drag, etc. I loved your explanation on planetary gears. Keep up the good work. Your videos are better than 95% of junk here on YT (that includes some of the videos i have posted too).
15:19 That catch was smooth af
I’ve watched about 40 videos explaining this but have not seen one that had a demo that actually shows the starter turning the fly wheel! “Excellent video!”
I had to come back and add (edit) to my original comment “you really explained everything so well I had to subscribe!”
Thankyou so much for making this video. This stuff is so helpful. Please cover all the topics for free, you can beat engineering explained and Chris fix
Awesomeness... helped me refurbishe my starter. The problem was dirt in the planet gears which I new nothing about until I watched this video. Saved me quite a bit of cash because the dealer wanted to install a brand new one for a crazy amount of cash and 8 hrs worth of labour.
Very informative sir
I just found your channel. Excellent on every front: information, flow of the video among topics, video quality, clarity, animations, and cutaways of real equipment. I agree with another commenter: This video should have many more views. Thumbs up!
why is this man flipping me off at 0:37
3:25 top-notch production quality, so good for learning. Mind-blowingly quality channel.
I’ve noticed he’s great at explaining things, I’m hating somewhat but I’m fighting it…always see if you can overcome jealousy…I always look for black people explaining engineering and Physics on this platform but it’s very rare that to find them..there’s one guy called Jeremy fielding and not even he comes close to the confidence and clarity and eloquence that his man has, it makes me wonder why blacks seem to be behind in academia..
I agree with you, you are clearly the problem here, you have a lot to work on
The problem is with you. You are behind in academia. Because you are not aware that something exist it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

People can only blame themselves.
How in the world does this vid have to do with race?
These videos are truly instructive and I always learn something that I never knew about the principles of how the equipment works ! The presentation is crystal clear and the animations are beautifully done. There are other channels that focus on the down n dirty aspects of real-world mechanics, but if you want to understand the functioning principles behind things then this channel is the greatest! Thanks!
me always wanting a macbook
I have watched 2 videos so far and i have to say this is one of the best tutorials i have ever seen. Straight to the point and clear. I'm sold.
I am blown away by the quality and production of this video. The fact that it's free information is awesome. Already liked, subscribed and shared without you asking. Amazing.
I teach motor vehicle for a living in the UK. For the level you're aiming it at, this is as lovely an introduction to starters as I've seen, and lord knows I've given the exact same lesson enough. great stuff :)
The amount of hardwork put into this video is admirable. This video deserved millions of views. Very informative buddy
Dear, Your channel is best among all Automobile channel, No one else ever explain the way u do. I m ur big fan, keep making Videos Please.
Man, I have been searching for course that covers auto parts and you are my answer, it is a shame u don’t have 100 million subscribers
I don't know how i missed this channel until today! Just brilliant!!! Super detailed, easy to understand, fun to watch. You put a lot of work into these videos, thank you so much! Amazing.
Terrific in every respect. Clear and confident explanations of the detail backed up by excellent working components modified to aid visibility and, where appropriate, clever graphics. This video could not be improved on. Many, many thanks for the effort.
Amazing stuff. Hard to find a smart man in the hands-on automotive field and you are one of the smartest I've met.
Fantastic video. Really, really, really good. Great explanations and animations. The only explanation missing (which was solved with 1 google search) is why the electric motor has such a high current relative to other motors of similar power. If anyone is wondering: it has to do with the nature of electric motor startups, where back emf still hasn't reached "normal" levels. This initial phase of the motor's functioning produces more torque than in continuous operation and is thus ideal for starter motors.
Lifes greatest tragedy is the fact we only get a few of these videos, but I understand the effort put into them so no complaints!
This is the first timeI saw a video on this channel and I must say you are great at explaining step by step. The high quality animations and close up videos are a great combination together with your talk. Amazing Video!
Very good explanations. I love watching his videos because I learn soo much.
I am an automotive guy and I can say that you the best. Detailed and well presented.
Keep it up!
Hoping to see more
I'm gonna register your training. You're the best auto engineer and mater skilled instructor. We are understanding well when you explain.
This is probably the best explanation I've ever seen on this topic. Or any automotive topic to be honest. Please continue making videos, this was a huge help to my tech school studies. You're a legend.
As an Electrical Engineer and having lot of experience in auto electric system, I never saw such a explanatory lecture. Thumbs up for this man . I subscribed and press the bill icon for onward surprise from this bravo man . 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you! It means a lot to hear such words from an expert!

Have watched a lot of informative videos on UA-cam but hey man your explanation and energy is out of this world bro,,, it really stands out. Remarkably amazed keep the good work 👌👌👌
Great stuff. They're not that complicated at all. A while back the starter on my Passat wasn't disengaging properly after the car started. Stripped it apart, cleaned and greased it and it's working like new. Saved a refurb
Great video! As an apprentice mechanic I thank you for putting this on youtube for all to watch. I've always wondered how the insides of the motor actually worked, something I've not seen in detail (yet). Thanks again!
Wow that is seriously the best video I have seen on starter motors. Well done! Loved the graphics and examples especially the live demo of it turning over the engine.
Thanks! It's so nice to read comments like yours! :)
I would like to give this video a double or triple like. I'm sure it's the best explanation of how a starter motor works. This channel is absolutelly awesome. Best of the best in youtube. Thanks!
These videos are truly instructive and I always learn something that I never knew about the principles of how the equipment works ! There are other channels that focus on the down n dirty aspects of real-world mechanics, but if you want to understand the functioning principles behind things then this channel is the greatest! Thanks!
You are one of the most sensible presenters on the internet.
Thank you for your work. I just subscribed
Never has man explained starter motors better than this. You deserve way more views and subscriptions!
You're a great teacher and produced a very fine video - thank you! The only point which made me pause and think a moment: I was thinking of the bicycle freehub analogy and thought, "but this relates to stopping the pedaling and the wheel continues forward..we're talking about the ignition *continuing* to make the pinion engage the flywheel." Then I corrected myself and realized the analogy is actually like when you pedal downhill and suddenly your rear wheel starts going faster than you can keep pedaling, why doesn't your rear wheel force your pedals to go forward faster." I know you taught it properly, I just made a mental error for a moment and maybe that analogy will help someone else. Thanks again!
Before I watch a video, I read comments. This is the reason why. Thank you! I have an idea of what am learning.

Wow! I subscribed right away. I have never watched a detailed Lecturer with information such as this. Thank you very much. Please continue to make more videos, you are helping a lot of people
This video was posted 5 years ago. And I am watching it only now - some time I hate myself !! What a phenomenal video! Subscribed straight away 🎉
Clear, concise, but with just enough detail to answer questions. Brilliant videos, ill be preordering if this is what i should expect from the videos
How do you not have more subscribers?!?!?!? Amazing work and very knowledgeable! Simply amazing!
Man, you are the best... as soon as i turn 18, wich isnt that far(less than 3 months) I'm going to pay 4 the classes and even offer to a few friends of mine maybe, because they are cheap and absolutely usefull.
I hope you the best, because you deserve it and i cant wait to have more classes!
Well done, honestly. 💪🚗
You have made a great video. Detailed explanation, physically showing each part, making to understand significance and functionality of each part. Superb.
Made me to dive in to your page.
Thank you for sharing the knowledge.
The quality and breadth of content on this channel is amazing. Education needs to be like this.
Very instructive and still quite simple thanks to your explanations. I'm rebuilding an Austin mini 1098cc engine, and after watching your video i can tell you that my solenoid is dead !
This video is amazing! terminologies are a little different but any mech nerd can easily get the gist of things. great work
Excellent explanation with expression, presentation using animation, explore view, physical components, and explaining short with all adequate and appropriate technical details. I am so happy to view this video. Please continue your video upload. Thanks
More importantly, your videos are Equally entertaining along with being informative.. I'm an engineer and love your videos as they give me extra information about these things.. But I'm sure that even the person from different background will enjoy watching ur videos.. That's the great work!
