First things first. I want to thank you all for your info and advice, it means a bunch to an old man. I finally got the primary belt on and working, then all of a sudden the starter started acting up the gear that is pushed out to the clutch to start would not go out far enough to kick in, not all the time just 2 out of 3 times. Most of the times it did nothing and just spun. Took the starter out trying figure out who made and the model I'm thinking it's an ultima

So the starter jackshaft is long enough to fully engage the teeth on the clutch ring gear? Im assuming if it connects 1/3 times that it is.
Are you running an outside jackshaft support cover of any kind or are you trying to start it without this on. I ask this because most belt drive primaries that retain an electric starter require some kind of cover to support the jackshaft and ensure it fires straight.
If I try and use the electric start on my BDL enclosed primary without the outside cover on, sometimes the gear will engage cleanly and other times it will flop and miss. -
I'll check that out, the starter is 18 years old but in taking it out I noticed evidence of being taken out before hmmm indicating problems before? Starter has no numbers anywhere on it to indicate what model number it is, but in looking at pictures on the ultima site I believe the make is an ultima.Comment
