Kohler Starter Assembly OEM #3209810S
A new inertia drive starter has been developed with many advantages over the previous design.
Improvements include:
- Stronger shaft – shaft diameter was increased from 12.5mm to 17mm
- Less susceptible to bending or fracture
- 9 tooth pinion down from 10
- Ratio allows for increased torque
- Patent RDD (rubber disc drive) encapsulates the rubber and shields the friction surface from contaminants
- Solves the grease/oil contamination slip issue
- Higher torque and speed
- Higher speed translates to more frequent pinion and ring gear meshing, Cranking speed is 80 rpm faster than the previous motor
- Better performance
- Better roll over engine speed and no hot restart stalling
- Stable cranking
- No kick outs of pinion due to higher torque
- Lower current
- Shorter motor
- Pinion cold forged
