Powermaster XS Torque Starter - Teeth Destroyed - How to Replace the Starter Gear with a New One!

[@mrmanitoba]

You can just use a pic and push that last retainer piece forward. It the goes to an angle exposing the c clip for removal.

We tried different things for maybe an hour or more... The c clip is super duper rigid and was almost impossible to bend in and out of place

I have been chewing up ring gear and I just found out there is a 11tooth starter gear that is smaller and a 9tooth starter gear Wich is just a bit bigger I have 11tooth no shims and could not get proper. Depth and chew up ring gear I have not switch to the 9 tooth just found out today.

Does the 3rd hole in the starter mounting block line up also???

I just bought a 3689 Powermaster starter it started a few times and now the Bendix will not engage the flywheel and it's a new flywheel and starter tried one shim , no shims , two shims still no engagement so I guess I got a dud .

Is that your real name or are you bragging?

@@billspaulding3434 It's my actual name it's an old Puritan surname that dates back to the 1600s and it's listed on Genealogy blog .com under First Connecticut Puritan settlers , I'm sure it didn't have the slang meaning associated with it in modern times .
