| X 8640 EFC/T29.9.24. X.8620. X.864C. EAC.II. STARTER MOTOR REDUCTION GEAR. The epicyclic reduction gear of the motor gives a reduction from 9 to 2. The reduction from the motor pinion to engine flywheel is 65 to 9. Hence the total reduction from motor to engine is 65 to 2, i.e. 32.5 to 1. EFC. | ||
