I am sorry guys. I didn't mean to sound flippant. I appreciate any and all advise but my problem had already been isolated and I already eliminated all the possible causes you mentioned as was pointed out in posts #11 and #12. The starter has been working like a charm after the spacer was installed.

None of the problems mentioned above by Gord Baker or bentrim apply to this case. Testing showed that there was nothing wrong with the starter or anything else, except for one thing. My starter had a delay before the spinning started and so did the replacement unit, indicating that this was by...

Yes Sir!

Update! I received a new starter and to my disappointment it does exactly what the old one does. So that means that the starters are working as designed. If 2 starters of the same model and brand doing the same thing it is probably by design. The starters are not OEM but in no way can be called...

sgkent, I think that you are probably the closest to the problem. The starter gear is not spinning when it hits the flywheel but will once the gear moves further up and engages the flywheel. Auto Doc, the original starter was replaced because it was frozen, the replacement was identical to the...

All of the above I checked and is good. Gear can't be upside down and tooth count is correct, battery is strong and fully charged and all the connections are clean and solid. Correct me if I am wrong but I think that the solenoid as it pushes up the gear towards the flywheel starts turning the...

I have a Cub Cadet LXT-L46 Fab with the Honda GXV630 engine and about 9 months ago I replaced the starter and ever since then more often than not, the starter will just click, click, click and nothing happens and finally it kicks in and spins the engine. Upon a close inspection I realized that...

So the purpose is to lock the engine when trying to unscrew the starter cup or flywheel nuts. - OK, I can see that, but I would be a little apprehensive to use a tool like that for that purpose. Don't want to mess up my piston. Thanks for the info

Does anybody know what tool 4282 890 2700 is used for?

Compression release problem solved. I carefully double checked the valve lash again and it was a little too lose. I guess it doesn't take much

OK, thanks.

Here is what I have done so far. Installed new cam gear and made sure timing is dead on according to manual. Compression release nipple on cam is moving freely in and out when pushed manually. Valve lash is 0.10 mm (using Stihl gauge and adjusted and checked when engine is cold). Engine starts...

Either everybody has gone on vacation or nobody knows anything about Stihl engines and I thought this was the Stihl forum - very disappointing to say the least. But maybe somebody can answer this. Does a 4 mix engine fire at every revolution? I am also just curious about that too.

My FS111R is all back together and runs like it was brand new. I couldn't be more pleased. Since this is practically a new engine is there a break in procedure that I need to follow or can I start trimming away like nothing ever happened? Btw StarTech, you never explained what you meant by this...

....like how? And if you are talking about me I don't have a contract with anybody
