Starter not engaging
On My 73 FX I have installed a stock starter, with 4 Gage wiring and a bigger battery. When I use the button or jump the posts on the solenoid the starter gear hits the ring gear it looks like it is about a 1/4" low. is there a way to adjust the starter to[size=13px]align[/size] the ring gear and starter gear? Thanks Scott

If you are testing with a Cut up Outer primary...then??? wrong Bendix gear??
I do Not understand "bigger battery" physical size means about Nothing.. the SuperGlide battery (TS20) is plenty... I made a "box" for the FL fitment..

Original fx primary cover that I installed the bearing in. Larger battery because I have a horse shoe oil tank. I can see the starter gear hit the ring gear if I take off the derby cover and look up with a flashlight when trying to engage the starter. I did not know there are different Bendix gears I will have to check on that. Thanks
