Thanks, Recently someone made a video of a triumph that, the starter would spin, but didn't engage the flywheel. When he opened it up, the starter housing was broken, causing other gears to detach and bent things etc. He blamed it on design, but the bike was like 6 years old, so design obviously worked for 6 years. I suggested it may have been, someone hitting the starter when the engine was running, there fore the speeding flywheel hit the starter gear and busted the housing of the starter. That's kinda what I saw when he showed a short of the starter and busted chunks inside the case. It's still what I think but he'd written back saying, that's not how a motorcycle starter is set-up. Watching your video sure makes me believe I was right. But I'm not making a deal out of it. Heck, I don't even know if a motorcycle starter will engage when running, but i know cars will. Im not going to experiment,haha. Anyway, thanks for the video.
Fantastic, through the spirals the oil is spread everywhere on the gear automatically. This shows the importance of good lubrication. I could imagine that the choice of the right oil has also some influence on these effects.
I wonder if it would be possible to make a working cut-away engine (4-stoke mower or something) then show different viscosities of oil going through it.
Nick Moore Hm, maybe with a combination of stable glas, plastic, gfk and a watercooling system, if it is possible at all. It would be changing the behavior of the motor, but still give a very interesting sight.
Nick Moore if you can get a camera in the crank case through the sump, you could film the oil squirters squirting oil onto the underside of the pistons / cylinder wall, you could also capture the movement of the pistons, conrods and crank.
I've spent an embarrassing amount of time troubleshooting the starter on my car because I took the spark plugs out. It definitely behaves differently without compression.
AWESOME! Maybe as your extra footage videos you could do more stuff like this. Film everyday objects no one puts a thought into. I can't think of anything at the moment though.
I can't wait! By the way, I was pretty stoked to see you in that colab slo-mo video. I was already subbed to a few of the channels listed (your included) but it gave me a few new channels to subscribe to. I hope there is a 2015 slo-mo colab.
The starter on my bike is a bit different. I took it out to clean & inspect the brushes. All looks good, bench tested. Bike starts fine. My query is re the engagement; the design is different from the video whereby mine does not seem to have the available movement to engage/disengage. Is it always engaged to the stater ring.....?
@@chrisdavie4660 I've took the cover off and looked to where the starter matches up. There's a pin that slides out that may have been getting stuck but not sure til I put it back together an try it out. Do I have to replace the gasket or can I use this loctite gasket maker
What a thoughtful video, Nick. That intersection between mathematics and practical observation is fascinating....

Everything looks better in slow motion.
Thank you for ur information .it help to study about auto mobile engineering.

Yeah, they spin a lot easier when the cylinders are open. If I can get a hold of a junker I should try to film the cams/valves.
@@NickMoore whay is the rpm of the motor at 12V??
I have no idea about motors but, what is the teeth of both gears are not aligned?
Very cool. Thanx

I have a few ideas for short videos on my "tofilm" list I just need to get the time to film them.

x9x9x9x9x9 There were quite a few people there that I hadn't seen in the colab as well. A boat load of new people found me too.
Awesome! ***** I believe brought A LOT of viewers along with JoergSprave of course.
Idea: film an A/C compressor clutch engaging? Various engine speeds??
That's a good one, I'll have to see if I can get my camera in to the jeep.
nice video thank you sir

That's what I'm wondering about my yamaha starter. Is it supposed to kick out/engage?
@@jamesholman2109 Did you ever get this figured out. I'v not thought about it for a while; so many other ongoing projects on the Bike...

Awesome!
I’m currently replacing my starter on a 1996 HD Road King. My question is, when that sprocket “pops out” to engage”, how do the teeth line up????
Luck, thats what I was actually looking for when I shot this.
@@NickMoore got it.
What is the problem that the starter has?
There were some missing teeth on the large gear, I wanted to see if it was jamming or meshing improperly.
izzat a beemer?
