Subject may give you a clue as to where this is heading ....... that's right: planetary gears in starter.
The 4 studs which hold the gears, washers and split pins are wearing a groove in the 'starter motor proper' end cap.
Should there not be some type of circlip to stop the gear cluster from moving in towards the starter end cap? (dunno)
There is no under-cut on the shaft for a circlip, just a plain shaft which runs on the bushes.
(idea) I have considered turning up a sleeve to fit behind the sprocket, but surely there's a better way? Or I could turn up and undercut for a clip, but this may well become a shear point.
Any thoughts?
