Out of interest has anyone else had issues with the modern Inertia starter motors?
We have booted 2 Nippon starter motors within 12 months. Supposedly its down to a missing tooth on the ring gear, but the original fitted to the machine died of natural causes (burned out contacts),after about 6 months the replacement went down with the same..... sent back under warranty and the email from them blamed it on the missing tooth.
Yesterday the warranty item fired the entire inertia mechanism into the flywheel, IMHO fucking it up completely..... after inspecting said starter I have found the bolts on the retaining plate had sheared previously and the three tapped holes had simply been redrilled.
We won't be buying anymore of this Nippon shit now. Hitachi seem to be the same. No point IMHO in dealing with CBL parts on it IMHO as last time as said it was blamed on the ring gear (which they only knew about due to me deciding to price one at the same time)
Opinions fellas....
(We repaired the fucked one by tapping the holes out to M6, installing the Inertia unit from the original fucked started....... That's engineering)
