removed the first DB Electrical starter and thought I would see the starting gear torn up pretty good from the metal shavings from the grinding I was hearing. The starter gear looked pretty good, but could see where it was making contact to the flywheel.
installed the second DB Electrical starter they sent me due to the first one grinding. Well, this one sounds better, but still sounds like it is grinding a little.
Can someone that ordered this "higher torque" starter from DB electrical describe the best they can how the starter sound. I know it sounds like a weird request. I know this is a reduction gear starter vs. the Mitsubishi type and probably sounds different when all is working correctly, but it just sound odd.
Also, I thought I read somewhere that someone had flywheel issues when using a reduction gear starter, don't know where I read that thought. She does start faster than she has ever started even with the grinding sound.
