INSTALLATION

STEP 1. Disconnect the battery
cables, removing the negative cable
first.
STEP 2. Remove the old starter,
and make sure the mounting flange
is clean and burr free.
STEP 3. Install the StarTek starter.
Leave all shims out at this time.
STEP 4. With the starter now in
position, make sure the solenoid
housing has maximum clearance
from
heat
sources
components. The starter can be
clocked in four different locations on
the mounting block to obtain the
best position. To re-clock the starter,
first remove the starter, then remove
the three M6 x 1 mounting bolts
between
the
starter
mounting
block
and
accordingly. Re-Torque to 8 ft-lbs.
Please see Figure 3.
STEP 5-1. (Pinion Engagement):
There are two possible methods to
measure pinion engagement. The
First (Preferred) Method: With the
starter removed, manually extend
the pinion and measure the distance
from the outer surface of the pinion
to the starter mounting flange where
it bolts to the bellhousing. Record
this
as
dimension
measure from the bellhousing /
block plate to the face of the ring
gear. Record this as dimension "B" –
this dimension should be close to
3/8" or 3/4", depending on your
application. Please see Figure 4. A-
B needs to be between 1/4" to 3/8".
If A-B> 3/8", then remove the
mounting block and install the shim
ring and outer shim. (Please see
Figure 5.) This will move the pinion
away
from
the
approximately .060", or 1/16". If A-B
is significantly out of range, most
likely the wrong application starter is
being used.
STEP 5-2. (Pinion Engagement):
The Second Method: This method
is NOT preferred. Steps 6-10 must
