New ebay starter (READ THIS BEFORE BUYING)

[joedrum]

yes im agreement with 82a ....that is a redicueles replacement part of laughable craftmanship

 

[dan filipi]

Inferior craftsmanship for sure.
Who knows what other issues might crop up later, damaged chain from mismatch, gear break. I've seen plenty of crap out there claiming it's compatible.

 

[82a]

Inferior craftsmanship for sure.

it that's the right part, it's pathetic

Well I never was a fan of the aftermarket (disastermarket) but this is too much.

 

[scdmarx]

could you take a head on shot of the sprockets, one on top of the other? to better show the diff

These are the best I could get:

The new gear is just bigger. But still might be close enough to work. Given a little chain slack, and hit'n the splines just right on installation.....

 

[dan filipi]

I think it'll be fine, Ron.

 

[82a]

as far as the teeth goes, the head shot shows a much closer match

the side shot of the teeth/gears i think greatly magnifies the difference plus it looks like you matched the edges on one side (rather than centering it) that then also accentuates the diff on the other side

 

[scdmarx]

Correct. Heck, what's 40 thousandths. That's what....the thickness of a credit card? :whistling:

ME? I would not use it! I would send it back! That space difference has to be made up somewhere and I would hate to stretch the chain to make it fit! :rtfm:

Is this chain only used during starter cranking?

Sure would have been a lot easier to check fit and tension when I had the rear cover off.

I'm thining you are going to be ok as well the teeth match up (I see one set is higher) and most importantly the lowest parts (where the chain sits) appear to match up as well

 

[scdmarx]

Well, this ain't gonna work.
Original Gear

New Gear

 

[dan filipi]

Yep, that settles that!

 

[82a]

the good news is that it mighta looked ok, but then quickly have done damage in use

i'm a bit surprised to see how bad it's fitting to the chain

i'm kinda suspecting that the suppliers and sellers don't know the actual model coverages with the 3 diff part # as part of the prob

if that ever gets sorted out, might have some idea what's going on

i haven't come across any info that gets into the exact diffs with the 3 part#s

all i know about is 84 is one year only and there is a diff with teeth count

 

[scdmarx]

I kinda think manufacturing specs got lost in translation.

 

[scdmarx]

Bet I can make a gear as good as any Chynee. :hihihi:

Yes, maybe the different model specs 82a mentioned have gotten confused by them trying to duplicate it.

You know what is really a shame, there are reverse engineered Chinese items everywhere that are darn near equal to OEM, yet they really miss the mark on these!

In the Maritime world, we have huge issues on quality control with Chinese steel products.
