starter motor 84 elford

[rip7]

hi any body got a starter motor , or knows if it differnt on early models

[ian65]

S2 and S3 are definitely different

[rip7]

that was quick, how do they differ

[ian65]

I can't remember exactly but a few years back I had one of each side by side and they were different... some of the lads on here might remember.... I think we discussed it back then for some reason

I did a lot of research on this a couple of years ago & it seems the difference in the code numbers relate to the number of cogs on the gear.
M3T36081 has 11 teeth
M3T26081 has 7 teeth(?)

I am not sure which is which, I think I have a spare not sure which one, best to replace like for like although I was led to believe they both work

they looked physically different too when I compared them side by side.... I can't say that they aren't interchangeable but it's probably safer to stick to the right series.

i will get this one re CONED , thanks all

[DKWW2000]

Have you removed it yet, if so what is the part number (on Solenoid) & number of teeth?

[rip7]

part no was m3t2608, the guy at the recon place striped it ,and the pole coils were burnt out, can not repair, he phoned around and got me a brand new spanker 100 quid , shiney shiney resolte i think. recon was 75

[ian65]

that's fair enough for a new one, should last years
