    Default Brinn?

    I bought a brinn bellhousing and when bolting the starter on the idler gear pushes in to far and engages into the flywheel about 1/8 inch, what do I have wrong?

    Do you have a balance plate or something between the crank and the flywheel/coupler?

    Do you have a bell-housing for a mid plate and you don't have one?

    Just a couple Ideas

    May not be your problem but this is what I ran into. I had a starter the gear would stay pushed out. You could push it in but it would come right back out. Figured this was normal, figured the idle gear would keep it in until you used it. I installed it and it would not let the idler gear stay out of the flywheel. Found the answer on here but can't remember the post. I took the head off of the starter there is a spring that pushed the gear out. Removed the spring put back together been running the starter for a year.

    I figured it out, I had a cheap no name starter and the gear is to long. Works on winters bellhousing maybe burt bellhousing. Brinn website says .860from mounting surface to end of gear, my starter measures. 980.

    Shouldn't a crate coupler have the balance plate, or it built into the flywheel?
