Plox Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 So helping a mate with a 4age into mk2 escort conversion. Brought a package off trade me with 4age + loom/ecu + k50 + engine mounts The 4age has no writing on top and was said to be the earliest 4age you could get, it has TVIS so assuming its a "blue top" big port engine. First problem we are having is we have a supposedly have a 4age starter but the starter wheel/gear doesn't meet flywheel when bolted to the k50 housing. appears the starter wheel needs to be offset kind of like: Also the shifter that came with it appears to short, but first hurdle is getting it started Any experience or thoughts?

KKtrips Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Put up some pictures of your starter motor problem but first of all you do know that the starter gear does not engage the ring gear until the starter is spinning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpr Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 k50 starter doesn't fit in place of a 4age(t50 etc..box) starter. i cant remember just quite why. but if you use a k50 starter it should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
