I can't fathom why you would want a 24v starter??????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????

The standard gear reduction isuzu starter only draws 110amps whilst cranking, I have tested a few after rebuilding them. And I'm pretty sure they are mitsubishi starters also.
A full charged N70 gets my starter motor humming like a cheap pro on speed!!!!

:twobeers:

Where my engine sits, there is no clearance for a geared starter. The chassis has already been notched to clear the direct drive starter that's in there (notch isn't shown, but you can see where the solenoid would foul).

How many amps would a geared starter draw after 5 years of brush debris buildup at 0 deg C?

327.435 amps once running 656.8766 amps on inrush.

the new starters that turned up in our last batch for work included a couple that allow for dismemberment and rebuilding in about 9 or so different orientations Id be surprised if one of them didnt fit.

As you can see, I've got plenty of room above, some below and not much sideways.
I've cleaned this one out around every 15,000km since I've owned it, it succumbs to brush debris. So yeah I'd like to plan for replacement.

Have you got any more details on those ones? Are they available in 24v (not yet sure if I want to drop back to 12)?
Those amps you've posted above are on 12v?

Hunted around for a while too. Ah well. Bloody Land Rovers.

mate those really really accurate numbers were a pluck OOMA and were ment as sarcasm. The only starters Ive got eyes on are all 12v.

Bugger, thought you'd put a clamp meter on them and embellished a little.

If they do, it'll be written all over them.
The AC only ones are more common and quite cheap these days. I bought one from Dick Smith about two years ago, it has helped solve a huge number of headaches.

Not all, the good ones do;)

So, what's a set of 12v glowplugs worth?
