Description of Power Max 9509

The 1.0 kw motor has a 6:1 gear reduction. This starter is designed to be rotated 360°. Its compact size allows it to fit where no other can. Will work with engines that have up to 10:1 compression. Specifically designed for 153 or 168 tooth flywheels and straight bolt patterns.

This starter worked flawlessly on three starts several hours apart.

This starter worked perfectly for 3 auto starts a few hours apart. Now it doesn't start. It won't work at all. I tried running it in a vise with a grounded power supply. That does not work. There are no dice. Miserable.

Pros
  • Specially designed for straight bolted 153 or 168 tooth flywheels
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

No more heat! Start faster!

A bit of flatbread to get my LS2 Pontiac G8 overclocked properly but once you figure it out put the screws in and enjoy a lot faster start! This saved my life because the factory starter was spinning so slowly that I turned on the check engine light for the crankshaft sensor code and then went into limp mode. I've been working on this starter for 3 months, I've never done this since!

Pros
  • The 1.0kW motor has a 6:1 gear ratio
Cons
  • No instructions

Excessive pinion play and limited head play on LS3.

I have used a Powermaster on older Chevy engines in the past. Good gear starters. This one is different. The clearance between the starter gear and the flexible plate is 0.020-0.035 inches. This one is .062 inch without spacers. It's called Powermaster. They said the starter needs to be edited to close the gap. The local machine shop didn't want that. I decided to screw the old regular starter gm. Without the spacer it was 0.025 inches! There are also many more header gaps. Send this back for a
