[WT] HELP: L6-226 starter not engaging

Joe Davis All Messages By This Member #149901 On my wagon I had this problem. It ended up being the brush plate was 90 degrees off, and this caused the starter to turn the wrong way, and the bendix gear to freewheel. Check the direction. Most engines are CCW I think, so your starter should be that direction from the gear as well.

I could start the engine by popping the clutch while rolling downhill... I pulled the starter out and the teeth on the starter and ring gear are not stripped. I purchased a rebuilt starter from Kaiser Willys and it does the same thing. It appears to be identical as the original. I had a friend who is a mechanic look at it, and after pulling it out, put jumper cables on it. It spins fine but only seems to engage only about 1/4 to1/2 inch. He thought that the new one was defective, so Kaiser Willys was nice enough to ship it back. They claim it is fine and that they sell hundreds of starters. I reinstalled it when they sent it back, BUT still does the same thing. Not sure what to do next. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Steve
