[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 43167, member: 597"] Strange thing to happen....as the spragg assembly only rotates when the starter is engaged...interesting..The only system i've seen using the other set up you mentioned, and this using a conventional car type starter and a small ring gear mounted on the chain wheel was the type used on the RTV engines here in Australia. Built by Terry Prince and Rodney Brown back in the 90's.....the starter mounted low and under the left hand side inboard of the primary. Originally designed to run a belt primary, which sadly was omitted in favour of a conventional chain, with the resulting oil bath causing oil ingress to the starter....not an ideal situation as some owners have learnt.....About 18 months ago i rebuilt one of these engines and converted the primary to a belt drive.....end of starter/ oiling problems and a much better set up now.......GB.
