    Subject: Starter Ring Gear source?
    My starter ring gear has gotten chewed up and is beginning to have problems engaging. Anyone have recommendations for a good parts source. I believe it is 149 teeth -- it is an O-360-A1A, bought new from Van's in 2000. A location in the Washington, DC area would be great, but I suppose it can be mailed from anywhere. Thanks!

    I have used Preferred Air Parts in Ohio for years. They have some new but mostly used parts and are reliable and honest. I'm on the road at the moment, but they have a web site.

    I have the same problem, caused by the factory installed lightweight starter not aligning properly with the ring gear. I replaced the starter at about 400 hours and it now seems to engage properly but the damage to the ring gear was already done. I bought my replacement ring gear from Sacramento Sky Ranch (www.sacskyranch.com). It is 149 teeth.

    Try Don George in Orlando. He has non certified ring gears which are a big seller with the air boat guys down here in Florida.

    You might check Ebay. Check for the proper part number. Not all ring gears are created equal. I recently bought one for an O-320 for $50. Someone earlier mentioned flipping the ring gear. There is a bevel on one side so that will not work. Randy Hooper On Tue, Dec 23, 2008 at 2:40 PM, Charles Kuss <chaskuss@yahoo.com> wrote: > > Try Don George in Orlando.

    The starter side of the gear tooth is beveled to help the starter gear to engage. No bevel on the other side. Also, how do you get the gear off without destroying it?

    The starter side of the gear tooth is beveled to help the starter gear to engage. No bevel on the other side. Also, how do you get the gear off without destroying it? Linn Moderately heat the steel and put a bag of ice on the inner aluminum. Bump the ring right off. Works pretty easy.
