I installed a new 12v conversion on my TO30 yesterday and when i went to start it i heard a strange noise from the starter and decided to take it off and have a look. The picture shows what i found. The starter caused the block to crack near the lower mounting hole and there is now a hairline crack near the upper mounting hole also. Is there a way to fix this? does anyone know what caused this?
This is a brand new starter that was installed a few weeks ago. A few of the teeth are broken off of the starter gear. I had to buy a new starter because the same thing happened to my old one except that the whole nose cone and teeth were broken off of that one.
