Hi all,

I have a Ram750 and just purchased a Jet joe starter to put on it. Only problem is the arms on the starter are too long to attach to the cover and too short and on too much of an angle to atach to the front plate. Does anyone have any pics or suggestions on how they did heis. Where are the starters usually attached to on turbines. the cover or front plate??

I can get some pics up tonight but thought i might see if anyone had some pics to give me an idea

thanks

Matty;

Does your turbine have a conical spinner? Did you buy the big starter or the small one? only the small one will fit, here's a pic with the small one....

Mattyb

yeah it has a conical spinner. Looks like i may have the larger one. I ordered it from Aus jets. Told hem i had the 750. Maybe I can cut the legs of it and re tap a thread. Did you attach yours to the cover?

Mattyb

actually its hard to tell. the body of mine is 3 inches long. is that the larger or smaller?

Easiest way to tell is unscrew the starter mount and look at the motor small is a 370 sd motor.

Mattyb

had a look at the motor. doesnt say which one it is. Ausjets is sending me one from a jj1400. sending mine back tomorrow. hopefully that works

I have performed this task several times for 750 owners.

You have the conical nut so your only issue remianing is the starter mounting legs and the starter bendix unit itself.

I have to machine off a length of the starter legs to achieve the correct clearance from the starter bendix to the cone nut when activated.

It is important to note that once you replace the compressor nut, you have lost the balance on your rotating assy. as their is no way to insure absolute re-alignment of the compressor to it orginal position.

Mattyb

thanks vampire. I have sent the starter back today to get the smaller one. I dont quite get what you mean when you say the compressor wont be realigned. You stated that all you need to do is machine the legs on the starter. do you have to take it apart further??

I actually notices the cone spinner doesnt spint entirely tru and sems a fraction off centre but I dont imagine you could get this absolutely perfect?

Just a note to reflect on the change out of the Compressor nut ("Cone nut") if that was done.

If you did not repalce this nut your ok on Balance.

Good luck.
