starter on a 502
 

Need help I got a powermaster XS starter on my 502 It makes a loud noise when starting it ,so I shim it still loud ,can I shim one side only to move it away form flywheel My flywheel is 14" 168 tooth

What exactly are you looking for when you add/remove shims?

Just asking to make sure you're doing it right.

Honestly, it's kind of a bad idea to shim it on an angle.

try to get right less noise

May need more shims

Have you tried a diff starter? Is this a new one on a new engine? What was the old starter?

Maybe you should read that page on how to properly shim a starter.

Thank you that site was outstaing I will try tomorrow

Good deal. Now just remember, they claim that their starter dogs don't have any deflection. So depending on how your starter is made, their tolerances may or may not work.

It is, however, at least a good starting point.

New starter did not have old one

Dont make it tougher than it is. You take a paper clip like the directions say on all starters.. Insert it between your two meshed gears and that is proper clearance.. Yes you may very well have to shim one side only.. totaly normal..
