    24v compact starters

    It appears my starter solenoid has gone again. Even though it's 6 years since the last time, now would be the ideal time to find a better starter.

    I currently have a 12v compact unit (2 bolt) which I think is Hitachi and from a 12v 4BC2 engine. It cannot crank my engine on 12v so is fed 24v. The main problem there is the 300-500 amps it draws. A 3kw 24v starter would only draw around 125 amps.

    I would like to replace it with a 24v version of similar dimensions. But do they exist or is rewinding mine to become a 24v verions possible? I don't have the clearance for the geared 24v starter.

    Crisis over, after stripping the solenoid, cleaning up the contacts and resoldering the wires it's working. It's one of those jobs where you spend longer getting to the problem than fixing the problem.

    But along the way I discovered a starter shop that thinks a 4.5kw Denso geared starter will fit and work. Mine is the 2 bolt version with 120mm bolt spacing. The pinion is 9 tooth and my current starter is direct drive. This new Denso starter would be 30mm longer, but I haven't received any pictures yet, only a length measurement.

    I also spoke to a motor rewinder who thinks it could be possible to rewind the starter as a 24v version. Whether you can get the torque in a direct drive package is another question. Perhaps I should source a second hand starter and post it off to them?

    Some time ago I made a scribble in my manual with Nikko part numbers for 24V, 3.5kW, 9 tooth starter motors for the 4BD1T, the part numbers were:

    0-21000-4720
    and
    0-2300-0241

    Starter

    Hey mate
    This is what I now run with the truck set up. It starts the motor in a couple of seconds and clears the chassis.

    "Best starter motor I could find for chassis clearance was a Clark Bobcat starter motor from Auto Electrics Australia

    p/n ASDR112473G

    9 tooth
    35mm pinion
    CW turn
    2 bolt @ 120mm
    2.5kw
    12V

    Back to this problem again. Last month it was the solenoid, this month the solenoid is clacking fine, but no-go. I have yet to look further into the problem, I'd prefer to just buy a starter that worked.

    So I took the camera and a clamp-meter to the Isuzu 4BC2 here which is 24v factory.

    Starter is a Hitachi S24-03A. I measured 235A peak current when starting a cold engine on a warm day. I didn't measure battery voltage.

    There is another number on it which follows the usually Isuzu P/N scheme:
    8942549221.
    If I could find an indexable one of these, I'd be sorted. The stocker just hangs out too far. Fine if you have a C-section chassis rail, no good for those closed in.

    Hi John

    I found the first number in here:
    http://www.elreg.com/files/NIKKO%20CATALOGUE.pdf
    0-21000-4720 has been replaced by:
    516-015350:
    Starter TCM/Nikko 24V 3.5kw 9 tooth
    Replaces: 015350, 0-21000-4720, 185-112, 581100-164-0
    Used On: Hitachi, EX100, EX120, EX150, Isuzu, Excavator, Industrial Engine, TCM820

    It is an inline 24v. Looks very promising, just need to check the length.
