Only happened once but it was loud as expected and sounded like I chewed off a few teeth. What are the odds that any of the teeth came off?
As I said it only happened once and all following starts were fine.:cheers:

Did you fully turn the key when starting it?

Very low, but if they did you will find out sooner or later when the ring gear rotates to where the missing teeth are adjacent to the starter. With no teeth to engage the starter will be blowing Dixie

Probably a one time event, starter gear just had trouble engaging.

And if a tooth came off it would be small odds that it would land on that section very often again. At least I would not think so.
