...on a new Superior O-360 engine. I am finishing up all the electrical wiring circuit checks on my RV-6A, and want to engage the starter solenoid and spin the starter to make sure the circuits are as I intended...
I plan on removing the engine ring gear so the engine does not spin over, and this implies that there will not be any mechanical load on the starter when the Bendix moves forward and the starter starts to spin.
Will the starter "over speed" in this condition and will it get damaged. My concern is that if it can "over speed", the internal construction of the starter can allow the wire windings to expand outwards and contact other internal non-moving parts.
Does anyone have experience in this area??
