I never noticed this until my starter got weak and I went to change it, but the wear pattern on my ring gear and my starter gear shows it’s only engaging 3/16ths to maybe 1/4” of the ring gear which is causing excessive wear to the ring gear. I need a starter that will engage the entire gear but I can’t find any specs for the available starters and suppliers can’t seem to help either. From the mounting shoulder to the back of ring gear is 2 5/8” and should be clear at 2 1/8” when the starter is at rest.
Has anyone else run into this or even noticed?
