due to the tt having a bigger flywheel i take it the starter is different also?

Not sure but probably just mounted in a different position?

Think they are both the same mate.

 

Alan..

hope so because i has the horrible squeel on startup today only did it once but might be a sign the starter may be on its way out.

so looking at possible availability. and if i have to get a na one i'll start looking now LOL

AndyZ's breaking an NA at the moment - but I think TT and NA starter motors are the same. Spray some silicon lubricant on your belts first - that tends to get rid of squeels on start-up - then tighten the offending belt.

 

Good luck

...also, removing a starter motor and stripping it down, cleaning, greasing and rebuilding etc is quite easy. There's a rubber boot in there that collapses with age that messes up the internals. If you think it's the starter, do this first as the 2nd hand replacement will undoubtedly have the same potential problem.

 

Good luck
