5k Reduction Gear Starter Motor

[Felix]

LOL the ND ke10 starter is shorter than the bosch one you posted Raven. The motor part is just a touch longer than the solenoid.

 

I have no doubt a reduction starter would spin the motor over a lot faster. I just haven't had any issues with the type I run now. If I ever run out of the smaller starters, I may change to the reduction type at a later stage.

I wish I had a KE10 starter to compare with as well, but hey, thats all I had. :P

I'll retract my earlier statement about the reduction type being larger than the ke1x type. More like similar sized. :P

Attached a pic of ke1x starter:

Hi,

On my Ke15 I have a standard KE15 starter and it is small as and it cranks my 5K over with shaved head fine but if it dies ill switch to a reduction gear I hope :dance:

 

But just as another point I belive the KE30/55 ish starters are 0.6KW and KE70 ones are 0.8 KW so there is a power difference in the motor so there is a upgrade you can do if you don't have a reduction gear starter.

 

Also a newer KE3X/5X/7X starter wont fit a stock KE1X gear box. The bolt holes in the gear box are smaller diameter and the KE1X bolts are a ut and bolt setup and newer starters are a olt setup with the starter motor housing containing the threaded part for the bolt. As I tried putting a larger starter on the 5K in the KE15 and they don't fit as the bolt holes on the geear box were to small and the big bolts that screw into the starter for newer starters don't fit. so on a KE1X if you runa KE1X GB you will have to use a stock Ke1X starter.

 

Cheers
