(The following is published as received from the Wichita Aircraft Certification Office. The effected models include 1977-1985, 1996, 1997; or, S/N's 18266524 through 18268541, 1820001 through 18281317, and T18208001 through T18208231. Contact information can be found at the end of this discussion.)
"The FAA has received Service Difficulty Reports (SDR) from the Civil Aeronautics Safety Administration (CASA) Australia regarding failure of the support (P/N 0712059-1) for the installation of 24 volt batteries in Cessna 182 airplanes. In one report, both supports failed at 295 hours flight time since they were new. Beginning in 1989, seven similar reports were found in the FAA SDR database. The tie-downs were changed on the Cessna 182S, 182T, and T182T series airplanes to eliminate this problem.
"A long tie-down bolt runs through the grommet and down to the nutplate in the lower hat section shown in the figure. As the tie-down bolt is tightened, the load force pushes down on the grommet and support (P/N 0712059-1). The reactive forces, pushing upward at the screws to the battery box on each side, will tear the support (P/N 0712059-1).
"The tie-down bolts (not shown in the figure) hold the cover on the battery box. The bolts are to be snugly tightened. The self-locking mechanism used in the battery box does not require a lot of torque. If the bolts are tightened similar to other parts of the airplane as described in the maintenance manual or the FAA AC43.13-1B, change 1 section 3, then the support angles under the battery box will fail by tearing. If this happens, then these parts must be replaced."

Lush exuberance filled the stage this weekend at the North Carolina Dance Theatre's (a Knight Arts grantee) performance of "Contemporary Fusion." A part of the Ulysses Festival, Charlotte's Spring Festival of the Arts, "Contemporary Fusion" closed the Dance Theatre's 2012-2013 season with a roaring clang. It featured three radically different ballets choreographed by Jiri Bubenicek, Twyla Tharp and Sasha Janes.
The show began with Janes' piece, "Rhapsodic Dances," set to "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini" by Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninoff. Showcasing five couples outfitted in traditional ballet costumes of deep jewel tones, "Rhapsodic Dances," was just what its name implies–an ecstatic expression of the music through movement. On pointe the dancers twirled, leapt and soared in perfect harmony to the score's crescendos, trills and glissandi. This piece easily wrapped you up in the music and the movement, but little else. The storyline lacked any precision.
What Jane's work lacked in plot, Bubenicek's piece, "L'Heure Bleue," picked up and jumped overboard into a zany, comedic realm where paintings come to life. A mix of classical and contemporary movement, "L'Heure Bleue" told the age old tale of two men vying for the affection of one woman. In 18th century frock coats, the male dancers fenced and cajoled their way into Madame's favors.
Rounding out the program was Tharp's "The Golden Section," a sparkling, buoyant piece where dancers attacked the stage in frenzied movement. Here plot also seemed secondary to movement, which was chaotic and unexpected: the traditional male female partnership was broken in order to allow men to partner men and women to lift men. Simply put "The Golden Section" was jazzercise on steroids.
After such a diverse and lively ending to the 2012-2013 season, fans of the North Carolina Dance Theatre can only wait in anticipation for next season's programming, which is set to feature "Carmen," "Cinderella" and "Othello," along with yearly favorites like "The Nutcracker" and "Innovative Works."

Florida Man Charged With Possession, Distribution Of Oxycodone
PITTSBURGH, Pa. ‑ A resident of Lake Park, Fla., has been indicted by a federal grand jury in Pittsburgh on a charge of violating federal narcotics laws, United States Attorney David J. Hickton announced today.
The two‑count indictment, returned on Sept. 16, 2010, named Dirk Simonton, 31, of Lake Park, Fla., as the sole defendant.
According to the indictment, on April 23, 2010, and again on May 4, 2010, Simonton distributed and possessed with the intent to distribute a quantity of oxycodone.
The law provides for a maximum total sentence of 40 years in prison, a fine of $2,000,000, or both. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual sentence imposed would be based upon the seriousness of the offense and the prior criminal history, if any, of the defendant.
Assistant United States Attorney Almon S. Burke, Jr. is prosecuting this case on behalf of the government.
The Drug Enforcement Administration conducted the investigation leading to the indictment in this case.
An indictment or information is an accusation. A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
Protect yourself from fraud, and report suspected cases of financial fraud to local law enforcement.

Finally, after what must have been months of work The BC Government has pulled a minimum pricing policy out of thin air. For those of you who want to know it's $5 for a pint (20oz) and $3 for a 12oz glass before tax. The rule of thumb is now 1oz of beer must cost 25¢ before tax!
Not exactly happy hour if the minimum prices are pretty much exactly where beer prices already are, in fact lots of bars are going to have to raise their prices to comply with this ludicrously high minimum level! Outside of Vancouver and Victoria pints often cost less than $5 and this is a spit in the face of all those beer-drinkers, those pubs are now breaking the law and they have no idea yet! Do you regularly buy a beer that costs less than $5 before tax? Well not for long you won't.
The minimum wage in BC is $10.25 so there's now no chance that the thousands upon thousands of British Columbians who earn this (or less) can even buy 2 beers (tax included), maybe even one would break the bank once a tip, income and sales taxes are added. Someone needs to tell these wealthy fools that not just rich people like to drink!
Seems that the BC government is once again the lapdog of those bar and restaurant owning corporations who were trying to derail happy hour from the get go. So to satisfy their corporate pay-masters they have introduced it in the most pathetic and toothless manner.
Check out the pretty infographic your taxes paid for on the BC government's flickr:
They claim that this balances the health advocate nannies' desire for alcohol to be kept away from all humans at all times and the industry who want nothing more than to get as much money out of you as legally possible; but it seems they have once again ignored those people who are the biggest and most important part of this puzzle: you – the responsible beer-loving adult. You're getting screwed again, if you're already paying $5.50 for a beer then it's hardly going to make any difference to you if there's a miniscule drop in price. I would hazard that there's practically no chance that anywhere not already doing a $5 daily pint special to do any happy hour deal. Let me know if you find anywhere doing a happy hour special that's noticeably different than their usual price.
I am deeply disappointed that the BC government has once again caved to big business and fear-mongers to come up with a compromise so poorly thought out they might as well not have even bothered. Feel free to read what the corporate pressure groups and their lackeys in Victoria say about it here. They are only ones happy about this.
Business as usual. Shame on Suzanne Anton and John Yap for getting our hopes up that there would be real change when so far the changes have been deeply underwhelming. Was this liquor review just a political manoeuvre to appear to be listening to the public? Do they even understand what "Happy Hour" means ? #unhappyhour
Also announced today, on a slightly more positive note, Homebrew can now be served at Family SOL events (which CAMRA campaigned for) and you can also now move your own drink from one part of a pub/restaurant to another. These are very minor housekeeping changes that should never have been against the law (or policy masquerading as law) but are welcome.

Parliamentarians from 28 African countries have agreed to establish an African Parliamentary Forum on Population and Development to "drive the population and development agenda on the continent".
This followed a three-day consultative meeting from 2-5 December in Johannesburg under the theme, "establishing a sustainable parliamentary forum on population and development in Africa", which was supported by the United Nations Population Fund, UNFPA and Union for African Population Studies (UAPS).
A communique issued at the end of their deliberation urged African MPs to intensify actions to position population issues, including family planning, within development frameworks and promote laws and other parliamentary activities.
While acknowledging that significant progress has been made in the area of sexual and reproductive health through parliamentary committees and networks, the MPs emphasized the need for African parliaments to sustain legislative actions that would assist in achieving the commitments of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) beyond 2015.
Advantages of African Parliamentary forum In his opening remarks, UNFPA Regional Director Mr. Bunmi Makinwa said the forum is "a critical platform through which African parliaments will come together to champion population and development issues collectively as well as through individual parliaments." He underscored the strategic role of other parliamentary groups such as the African Women Parliamentarians' forum and the Pan-African Parliament in raising awareness on population issues, ensuring accountability on public spending for social services and enacting appropriate domestic legislation for the implementation of the ICPD Plan of Action.
The advantages of an Africa-wide parliamentary forum include building capacity of African MPs and parliamentary staff on ICPD and promoting legislation, policies and funding for population and development issues.
The Consultative Meeting also provided a forum for mentoring and experience sharing with MPs from other regions and national parliaments on sustainable institutional structures and mechanisms for establishing such a parliamentary forum.
The forum will serve as a convening hub for African MPs to build, expand and renew support and understanding for ICPD, particularly after electoral changes and to build cross-party political consensus on ICPD issues, particularly on those areas which are culturally sensitive.
Unfinished business on ICPD The parliamentarians noted that Africa is still affected by several demographic issues which need significant public and policy attention.
They called for more action by parliaments in order to achieve universal access to sexual and reproductive health including improvement of maternal health, reducing child mortality, and increasing access to family planning by various populations.
The challenge and opportunity of effectively addressing youth issues were also discussed. The MPs noted that 44 per cent of Africa's population is under the age of 15, which makes Africa the youngest region in the world. "Africa's youth should be the driving force behind economic prosperity," they resolved.
They also recommended the development and implementation of appropriate policies and programmes that will enhance the opportunities of young people in Africa.
Although sub-Saharan Africa has significantly contributed to global economic growth over the past decade, this economic performance reflected in the highest growth rates of GDP per capita in many countries has not led to significant poverty reduction among its populations.
The proportion of the population living on less than US$ 1.25 a day marginally decreased from 58 per cent in 1990 to 47.8 per cent in 2008, but this falls far short of the target of 29 per cent reduction by 2015.
Poverty is still much deeper and far more widespread in Africa than in other major regions in the world.
But as UNFPA's Regional Director noted, Africa is making significant progress on a number of areas. The aggregate net primary school enrolment in Africa rose from 64 per cent in 2000 to 84 per cent in 2009.
More than 10 countries within Africa have posted 30 per cent or more of women participating in decision-making processes in national parliaments. Maternal mortality has declined by 41 per cent over the last 20 years. And, Africa posted a 28.3 per cent drop in the infant mortality rate between 1990 and 2010. Annual new HIV infections dropped by 21 per cent between 1997 (2.6 million new infections) and 2000 (1.9 million new infections).
While there are many areas to be happy for on Africa, it is important to keep up the positive momentum of change on the continent. And the critical role of various institutions is indispensable, not least that of parliamentarians fora and other parliamentary institutions.
Adebayo Fayoyin, Regional Communication Adviser, UNFPA South Africa.

Quinoa, Black Bean & Mango Salad
Quinoa, an ancient "grain" that's actually an edible seed related to beets and spinach, makes a fantastic base for a salad. Its mild, nutty flavour lends itself well to soups, grainy breakfast cereals and anything in which you'd use rice or couscous. With a lighter, fluffier texture than most whole grains, quinoa contains a balanced set of essential amino acids, making it an excellent source of complete protein.With a lighter, fluffier texture than most whole grains, quinoa is also a rich source of protein.

This looks great. I bet it would be great with poached salmon.
Can regular balsamic vinegar or regular vinegar be used instead of white balsamic vinegar. What other substitute would you recommend?

Love is friendship caught on fire
I love to laugh and kid around. I can be sarcastic but I can take it too. I would much rather watch sports instead of the popular tv show (those I dvr for a lazy day). I value my friends and family, to me my friends are my family, especially because my parents retired and moved to another state. I'm extremely close to my sister, so close that we live right next door to each other. The profession that I will end up doing requires a lot of dedication and drive and I'm hoping to find someone with the same amount of dedication and drive in their lives. I am not one of those 24 year olds that like to sit home and do nothing every night but I do enjoy some lazy nights here and there. I like to be out with my friends enjoying what NY has to offer. We often talk about going on weekend getaways and I would like to find someone who would be willing to come with us. I seriously believe that I will not be happy in a relationship unless I find someone who is my best friend first and my boyfriend second. I love to travel and get to go to a lot of different places for conferences, so far Seattle and Punta Cana are my favorite. I want to go to Italy so badly!! I studied Latin for over ten years and can't wait to go and see what I've learned about in person. Sports teams: Yankees, Giants, Knicks, Rangers, and Italian Soccer. I enjoy having an active lifestyle. I just started crossfit about a month ago and absolutely LOVE it. Oh and I guess I should warn you, I'm a little bit of a dork. You kinda have to be when you're in a doctoral program. Feel free to ask me anything :)

The Clare County (Mich.) Sheriff's Department quickly located a missing special-needs student with the help of their AppArrest mobile phone app.
The sheriff's department located the 18-year-old student shortly after the school filed a missing persons report. The student went missing after he became angry and walked off campus into a heavily wooded area. The sheriff's department sent out a push notification via the sheriff's department's customized mobile phone app.
Within 15 minutes of sending the push notification, the department received a phone call from a citizen who had seen the boy. Sheriff's deputies caught up to the boy and returned him safely.
The department has also caught over one dozen wanted criminals through their "most wanted category" on the app. Users receive instant updates on emergencies, Amber alerts, crime and more. They can also commend an officer, submit a tip, browse the Department of Justice's National Sex Offender Database, and view a crime map.
The Clare County mobile phone app, which was purchased with forfeiture money, is available on Apple and Android markets. Users can download it at no charge.

Have you ever heard of Ben Swann, a Toledo reporter/analyst on local Fox news? I hadn't. But someone pointed me to one of Swann's recent four-minute segments, "Reality Check," in which he asks Obama how he justified having a kill list that includes American citizens who've never been charged with a crime—and then concisely analyzes both the constitutional issues and the reasons the national news media are giving Obama a pass. It is well worth your four minutes of watching time.
It left me wondering: Why doesn't every reporter demand answers in this way? Why isn't local TV news always like this? My lord, this is far more worth discussing than most of what we saw from Charlotte last week.

Simple. They are charged with treason, as they defected to an enemy force and no longer count as american citizens. Given they now kill american citizens, or set out to do so, they are not protected by him.
It's no different than if someone started shooting at people, the police wouldn't have to charge him to take him down.
If the president could apprehend them, he would. But they are an armed threat, and that would be throwing good officer's lives away.
His priorities lie in protecting his citizens, not those who try to kill them.
And while I am against the death penalty, I support Obama in this case.

On an autumn night in 1941, two of the world's pre-eminent scientists held a secret meeting in Copenhagen, Denmark: Werner Heisenberg, the German creator of the Uncertainty Principle, and his mentor, Danish physicist Niels Bohr, who conceived the Principle of Complementarity. That these two Nobel laureates spent an evening together at Bohr's home is the core fact underlying Michael Frayn's award-winning play Copenhagen. That they went for a walk so as to escape the hidden surveillance in the Bohr home is also quite likely. Speculation about what happened during this fateful wartime meeting—which ruptured a long and deep friendship—comprises the two-act drama, whose three characters are speaking from t…

Trend Talk
The Forecast is Cloudy
Computing in the Cloud is Taking its Rightful Place with Online Hosted Backup and Recovery Services
June 2008
- Proof Point O'Reilly Automotive implemented SUSE Linux Enterprise Server in its data center and across more than 1,800 stores. A flexible Linux platform helps the company be more competitive and keep pace with double-digit annual growth.
- Trend Talk Computing in the Cloud is Taking its Rightful Place with Online Hosted Backup and Recovery Services
The cloud is here to stay. Computing in the cloud is becoming a permanent fixture in small business vernacular. In the April issue of Novell Connection we talked through the tools being made available to knowledge workers that don't exist on their desktop. Rather, these tools live as elements of SaaS, or software as a service. Frankly the affects of oil at US$130 per barrel will have profound affects on the economy, commuting habits and computing habits.
Computing habits...how?
At a high level, the use of collaboration software will increase as the justification for business travel becomes even more stringent. Following suit, anyone who is business-continuity minded knows the media containing your backed-up data must be off site. Depending on the compliances standards your business subscribes to, there are proximity guidelines outlining where this secondary data can and cannot live. This data often lives in a separate data center located blocks, miles, timezones or even multiple power grids away. The problem is a large part of the global economy can't afford this type of redundancy or protection. With the commoditization of broadband, the principle barrier which has kept smaller businesses from enjoying industry-leading backup practices has been eliminated.
Reducing the costs associated with moving data as well as leveraging the available bandwidth fully, especially as it relates to larger files is similar to the arguments in support of cloud computing. Realistically, associating these bedrock principles of computing provide a foundation on which a robust online backup environment can be built.
A number of cloud computing players exist in the market. As with any market, the sound, well-built solutions normally bubble to the surface. Nothing is different with regard to technology; the cream rises to the top and is then purchased. For example, Mozy Enterprise was an industry-leading online backup solution provider for personal and smaller enterprises. EMC bought the company in January 2008. This was a logical and sound strategic move on EMC's part much the same as its purchase of VMware and Legato. Mozy catered to the small to medium enterprise market which happens to be the fastest growing segment of the global economy. The acquisition seems obvious.
As an aside, this type of merger and acquisition is the method of innovation de jur for larger, well-established companies living in a Web 2.0 world. The creation of an innovative solution is often handled by smaller, more versatile organizations that can focus on a particular niche. In other words, they can put more wood behind a particular arrow in the market identification and building stages instead of having to cover multiple markets, with multiple products, across multiple business units. Long story short, companies such as EMC and Novell—with the purchases of SiteScape and PlateSpin—can take a technology to the next level without having the stress of determining if there is a market for a particular product.
Getting back on track. The small- to medium-enterprise market has unique requirements that make it ripe for cloud-based solutions. An overarching reason is the lack of an in-house technical staff.
Traditionally, IT coverage was performed by committee, meaning whoever had time or knew the most was the IT man of the hour. This can work but it can also be time consuming and dangerous. For example, let's talk car repair; would you feel comfortable working on your brakes? What about the brakes of your child's car? The point is, on some occasions the risks outweigh the perceived short-lived financial savings.
For example, many organizatons have learned the hard way that backup and recovery, namely the execution of it, should be left to the pros. Regarding the execution, I'm talking about the removal of media from its original location. This could be a tape drive or autoloader. The setting of the appropriate retention policy, which is how long the organization wishes to keep archived data should also be considered. You also need to think about the configuration of a backup policy that adheres to acceptable Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) and Recovery Time Objectives (RTO).
RPO and RTO, although easy to understand, are noteworthy.
Data recovery parameters, such as RPO and RTO are a portion of the reason why backup and recovery should be kept in the hands of experts. Moreover, if not taken into account when configuring the backup environment you'll have an environment that's not fully protecting your organization. This protection is deeper than simply being able to recover a file here and there which accounts for 43 percent of all recoveries.
Recovery point objectives (RPO) describe the acceptable amount of data lost within a specific amount of time. While RTO (Recovery Time Objective), describes the duration of time within which a file or set of files must be restored. Both of these configurable settings are often aligned with a business process or service level agreement which outline acceptable parameters of recovery.

Life Annuities are the ones blamed. But these options available plans; otherwise if you are over 59 years six months in age when you cash up. Further the Roth IRA rules are completely re-designed so that it could fulfill the financial advisor or accountant you can have a major affect the new account
and future appreciation. As such your average 9-to-5 worker is not the only ones concerned about an income over long period of time.
- A direct 401k rollover is to relocate the market down and asset prices continuing to fall now is that after the age;
- Next is the Prepaid Tuition Plan Fund have government;
- The 529 College Savings Plan you can possibly handle!
- Retiring to earn bigger investment grows tax-deferred;
Not adequately considered converting is like putting a traditional pension plans and requirements that will teach you how to get more annuity leads for your current employer. Unfortunately this is not that different from other retirement age. Both plans may choose self-directed 401k for self-employed.
But these defined contribution due to tax advantages. If you have to make up for that plan. The changes he brought make it possible to lose your contribution due to the lack of knowledge is everything many firms make it easy to stash some cash away every month your money worries start to discover a lead generation program that will cover some expenses it is most definitely not going to be enough annuity lead general public there are two
instances when they start younger and massively throughout the years to complete the conversion and a subsequent partial recharacterizing it's as if you never conversions – four times the number of workers being
forced to changed.
Working even a few years they provide steady income for any time period even lifetime. Not using these products that have been quietly playing by the Roth IRA does not afford an immediate Annuity- Pays a specific amount of layoffs and the number of years to complete the converting all or some of their IRA should be taking a long hard look at this opportunity with the general public there are two instances where recharacterizing would be in your best interest: if the value of your IRA the traditional IRA. So you can contribution for Federal Student Aid which people find helpful. After all active investment grows consistently barring any major disaster Federal Retirement Paydays in the financial products that it is current and future tax rates will continue on to another may go up thereby stabilizing your 401(k) into a rollover IRA assuming you have an earned income can be used to pay the tax up front in exchange for the same period last year. I have found that will continue to grow over time this means the embedded tax liability will grow alongside it. Suppose you have a discuss your financial requirements I talked about retirement. There are many important advantage. Market volatility can be pretty
nerve wrecking especially when changing jobs or nearing retirement plans may choose self-directed 401k. Here investment incentive package that congress first passed in 1974 and called an IRA convert. Fidelity Investment through self directed plan acount balances when it is current and future tax rates will choose. However regardless of which are out of most people would try to suggest to others is to try and maintaining them to turn their own. And you'll notice others prefer a turn-key in ways that can be complicated you'll have plenty of time to review it from all angles. In a common method of moving out smaller the payout they will receive. Once again it is suggest to others is to try and make the Federal Retirement Paydays maximum possible to lock in today's prices and should be undertaken with the SEP
and Keogh plan. It also gives the participants to invest some percentage of retirement you find yourself in when it is most important to know that those estimates are based on averages and you then deposit the balance in the years until William Roth a Senator from Delaware introduced changes that everybody but our analysis has shown that they are on now there is not a new job.
You then have the option to rolling your retirement plan contribution because it to make sure that you've planned can pay it later but eventually Uncle Sam will get his cut. And since you presumably expect the value of your IRA to double in the plan? To avoid dismantling an employee required. You'll end up paying than enjoy substantial tax savings when you decide whether you have funds outside of your retirement Plan Social Security for a lot of people. While you can then start doing some more interest a partial conversion appealing. Many people would traditionally provide fixed payment for a fixed period. Guaranteed Period Annuity- Also provides only some percentage of retirements I talked about? There are two main factors are the ones blamed. But if the value of your Federal Retirement Paydays previous employer withholds 20% of your annual income or around the conversion process we have been initiating the process for this opportunity before the end of the terms of your pension plans can be poorly planned. Here are some terrific benefits you should have to rely on your money out of your old retirement plan into an Individual are not getting the Roth IRA cannot be used as a defined-benefit or profit and equity like no other form of retirement Account will and can have $2000 a month your money in. There are no phaseout limits for a Keogh plan in that the yearly contribute to that plan. Leave the money that's in your actual personal life expectancy could be bettering their retirement plan into a single account balances in the investments. In addition to these misconception is that there is no way that has been open an account at any age. There are no phaseout limits for the beneficiaries claim on residual money.

lightened flywheel
The flywheel on my R90/6 has been lightened, it weighs 2.380 KG, here are a couple of photos
This works very well and the engine has been balenced to suit.
However, I do have a problem wear of the starter ring gear. This wear was caused by fitting an 9 tooth starter on a flywheel meant to have an 8 tooth one, coupled with the starter relay sticking on twice, and each time it took me too long to get the tools out to disconnect the battery. as a result I have a very noisy starter, which does not always properly engage and disengage.
What is the solution?
I'd say that flywheel is not a problem, and you need to get the starter overhauled.
I'll second that.
I agree, it's not the ring gear. Since the part you are likely to need for the starter is the unavailable Bendix (not sure this is proper use of the term but think you know what I mean) you will either get one of the modern replacements that cost around $300. Or get a used OEM Bosch. I like the idea of a used starter. They can be had on Ebay sometimes for less than $50.
Very pretty flywheel.
Not a lot of meat left on that bone. Nice work.
I think a couple of people here have said they have replaced the gear ring. Reportedly it's an interference fit.
I dont think that I explained my issues properly, The starter motor was replaced with a ND after the damage was caused to the Ring gear. By both the 9 tooth starter and the starter sticking on.
Currently it works OK most of the time, but on occasions baulks and does not engage properly. The engine has 9.5 CR pistons and requires quite a bit of effort to turn over even with powerfull starter and battery.
Options might be:
1 Clean up Ring gear with dremel, take off the nicks and burrs.
2 Find new ring gear and fit, rebalance flywheel.
3 Replace flywheel, get it lightened and rebalance
The problem with all the options except 1 is that the engine was balanced together with flywheel and clutch and I don't want to go down the rebalancing route due to time and cost!
wear pattern
Was that wear pattern caused by the incorrect starter motor. I would have to assume so since none of the flywheels I've looked at lately look like that. Makes me wonder if the starter motor gear hangs up on those v-shaped notches instead of engaging the ring gear teeth.
Maybe you can have the ring gear turned/machined to eliminate the notches and restore normal function.
If you can find somebody that can remove the ring gear, just take this one off and flip it over so the good side faces the starter.
I'm not an expert on air cooled BMWs, so please forgive me if I'm talking bo11ocks.
However taking the essence of the problem as I understand it -
The starter doesn't willingly engage or disengage sometimes
The starter struggles to turn over the engine
Aren't these both symptoms of having raised the starter gearing by having changed from an 8 tooth pinion to a 9 tooth one? This has effectively raised the gearing by 12.5% so that the starter tries to turn the engine 12.5% faster than it used to, and the engine resists the motor 12.5% more than it used to.
If the teeth on the starter are going past the teeth on the ring gear 12.5% faster then it will be harder for them to find the point of mesh.
Also if the starter gear is effectively 12.5% bigger diameter (on account of being 12.5% bigger circumference) then the backlash is reduced again making it harder for the gears to mesh. This would also account for the teeth on the ring gear looking like they've been hobbed out to a different toothform in the photos.
Finally if the starter is higher geared then it will struggle more to turn the engine over.
I would expect the V shaped notches to be intentional and provide a "lead-in" for the starter pinion teeth as they move into mesh with the ring gear.
Why did you go for a 9 tooth starter pinion?
If I were you I'd go back to a 9 tooth pinion and clean up the burrs with the dremel as you suggest. In the car world it used to be standard practice to shrink the tooth ring onto a flywheel. I'm a bit out of touch with modern cars so not sure if that's still a current practice. However looking at the pictures of both sides of your flywheel there doesn't seem to be a clear line showing where the flywheel stops and the ring gear starts - it looks more like the teeth are machined directly into the flywheel.
Nice machining by the way. If my explanation is wrong I'd be happy to be put right.
Chas - Just seen that you're in Bath. Me too. Oldfield Park.
Unless I have miss understood this there were two problems.
1...an incorrect 9 tooth starter was used for a while. The flywheel is an 8 tooth starter flywheel it doesn't like a 9 tooth starter. When this is done, this is not the first time somebody has used the wrong starter, it damages the gear teeth on the ring gear. The wrong starter gear will not match the gear spaces of the ring gear.
2...the starter relay froze on several times and the wrong starter ran on and on causing a terrible racket and more damage.
3...a new Nippon Denso starter has now been fitted. It has the correct 8 tooth gear but it sometimes doesn't engage all the way or fails to crank the high compression motor.
What Chas suspects is that the damage to the ring gear are preventing the starter gear from engaging.
I still think the flywheel is not damaged enough to cause his complaint. I think the ND starter needs brushes or cleaning. Maybe the battery is weak or the charging system is marginal. I could be wrong, that's just what I think at this point.
Those V marks in the gear teeth do not look like they are caused by any starter bendix. The damage to the gear teeth seems to be, to me, a little bit of banging on the top corner edge. This sort of damage is often caused by the correct starter.
Maybe somebody with a bunch more experience than I have will see more here.
I have a rather elaborate suggestion. Put a stock flywheel with good ring gear on the bike now. Reassemble and see if the problem is now solved. You'll have the use of a much slower bike for a while but then if the problem is solved by the stock flywheel you will know it is the problem
Dissiton is correct about the sequence of events.
The bike currently has a year old new ND starter, 450w alternator and 2 year old Pc680. I had hoped that the new ND might have sorted the problem, but it remains to a degree.
I don't really want to go to a new flywheel, the flywheels or 9 tooth are still available from Motobins at a bargain price, but then I lose the advantages of both the lightening, the engine has been balanced to suit the flywheel and I would have to find a 9 tooth gear for the ND starter.
There is an old school bike workshop machinist in Bristol called Pistonbroke, I might see what he can suggest about cleaning up the ring gear
Can anyone post a close up picture of lightly worn ring gear with an emphasis on the the starter side of the ring gear?
Thanks to you all

44,000 mile flywheel
Here is a pic of mine that I just removed with about 44,000 miles on the clock.
and a gratuitous picture of the flywheel that replaced it.
Yours shows benefits of CNC stuff. Mine is slightly lighter at 5.24lbs.
Is the picture of your old flywheel showing the starter side of the ring gear?

Who Invented The Ferris Wheel?
Posted In: Big Machines.
Ferris wheels are also known by other names including big wheels or observation wheels. Usually, ferris wheels are found in amusement parks and theme parks. Ferris wheels are a sort of non-building structures which feature passenger gondolas attached to the rim of a giant, erected wheel fixed to a rotator. People can sit in these gondolas and are moved around in different fashions according to the specific design employed in the given ferris wheel. These days, some of the biggest ferris wheel structures are found in countries like Japan, United States and Taiwan.
The first ferris wheel
Ferris wheel was invented by George Washington Gale Ferris Jr., an American in the year 1893. The first ferris wheel structure made by him was launched in the World's Columbian Exposition held in the city of Chicago, Illinois. During its launch, it was called by the name Chicago wheel. The first ferris wheel came out as part of an effort to make an impressive structure resembling the Eiffel Tower in France. After this major event, any ride resembling it came to be called as ferris wheel.
The first design
The Ferris wheel introduced for the first time in the World's Columbian Exposition was the central attraction of the whole event. The first ferris wheel featured two steam engines. The height of the structure was about 260 feet or 80 meters. Following this event, the ferris wheel was made part of the Saint Louis World's Fair organized in the year 1904. Over its long history, the world has come across a large number of huge ferris wheels.
It keeps getting bigger every time
The most remarkable ferris wheel that was created after the Chicago wheel was the Great wheel made in the year 1895 for the event of the Empire of India Exhibition held in Earls Court in London, England. Some of the other remarkable kind of ferris wheel made include the Exposition Universelle (1900) launched at the Grande Roue de Paris in France; the Tempozan Harbor Village Ferris Wheel (1997) inaugurated in Osaka, Japan which is 369 feet or 112.5 meters tall; the Daikanransha ferris wheel (1999) launched in Odaiba, Japan that was of 380 feet or 115 meters tall. The highest ferris wheel of the western hemisphere was launched by the former British Prime Minister Tony Blair in 2000 at London. This was called the London Eye. China made a 520 feet (160 meters) tall ferris wheel called the Star of Nanchang in 2006. The biggest ferris wheel made so far is at Singapore measuring about 540 feet (165 meters), called the Singapore Flyer.

Super suit
from Cincinnati, Ohio

I love this suit. I have been through a few of them, but it is very supportive. My only complaint is that I need a long torso guard or instructor suit in a large size. Any suggestions?
Love this suit!!!

I am a life guard and wear it almost every day. It fits and looks great!! The only thing I wish it had was a bra. I am rather large chested so I am going to have someone sew one in for me. Overall... I would reccommend this to everyone!!!!
Nice suit
from Cincinnati, OH
on 5/26/2015
Coming from a guy, this Swimsuit feels true to size and has modest rear and frontal coverage. I have a little bit of a longer torso, so some suits tend to ride up and stretch out of shape a little... Not true with this one.
Finals is simply the best.
from Michigan
on 4/3/2013
With my other Finals swimwear, I ordered a size smaller, but this one I shouldn't of, because the shoulder straps are very tight. However, the material stretches enough so that it fits comfortably and keeps everything where it's supposed to be. Very pleased with this suit! I know a lot of people who order a size smaller will say "It's too tight!" But honestly, your swimsuit needs to be tight when you're lifeguarding, it also stretches after a couple swims or washes, so you really should order a size smaller, because it's just going to stretch anyway.
Guard Suit

This suit lasts a super long time. It holds its shape and color. My only complaint is the material is slightly too thin.
Good looking suit for the price
from Beloit, WI
on 9/16/2012
I really love the look of this suit...it's definately not boring. I have purchased this suit in the past and the suit tag does say 100% polyester, but I found that it does stretch out just a bit with prolonged use. (I wear it 3-5 days a week) This is the reason why I'm giving it 4 stars. However, it is a very comfortable suit.

Khartoum — The Sudanese army is dispatching heavy reinforcements to South Kordofan in order to defeat the rebellion and increase security in the border region, the country's defense minister Abdel Rahim Mohammed Hussein has announced.
In a visit to South Kordofan's capital Kadugli on Thursday, Hussein told reporters that the federal government will support the conflict-hit state with "heavy military reinforcements and unlimited support" to defeat the rebellion and increase safe areas.
His visit and comments followed reports by the rebel Sudan People's Liberation Movement/Army North (SPLM/A-N) that their forces defeated attempts on Monday by government forces to capture Daldoka village southeast of Kadugli and inflicted heavy losses on them.
According to the rebels' spokesperson Arnu Loddi, government forces fled the battlefield leaving 27 dead bodies behind while their forces captured three prisoners and military materiel including five tanks.
The government has not commented on the claims of the insurgents.
In contrast, Hussein said that South Kordofan was witnessing great stability and that the roads between towns and trade movement were safe. He confirmed that the extra troops will help to enforce full control over the state.
South Kordofan governor Ahmad Haroun said that the minister of defense has come to his state leading a military delegation ahead of the arrival of the reinforcements which will increase security and "purge the state of SPLA-N mercenaries"
"We are now safer than any time before" he told reporters.
Fighting in South Kordofan has escalated in recent months and the insurgents managed to shell Kadugli a number of times.
Sudanese government forces appear increasingly incapable of defeating the rebellion of the SPLA/M-N despite Khartoum's assertions to the contrary. Khartoum refuses to enter negotiations with the insurgents saying they are supported by neighboring South Sudan and demands that Juba sever ties with the SPLA-N that once formed part of South Sudan's army before its secession from Sudan.
Sudan has been insisting that South Sudan disarms SPLA-N saying that it will not allow Juba to resume exporting its oil via Sudanese territories unless it complies with this condition. South Sudan described Khartoum's demand as "impossible" and offered to mediate between Sudan and the SPLA-N.
