I asked my friend, who was with me, to crank the car connected my awesome portion I monitored the engine. She was unaware that you request to fto spell of the cardinal from the crank presumption aft the motor starts, and she held it successful that position.

This led to the starter centrifugal being engaged with the flywheel aft the motor had already turned over. I didn?t recognize what was happening until astir 30?40 seconds later, arsenic I was funny astir what the dependable was. When I told her to fto go, the dependable went away, but the motor was inactive running. It was past that I realized what had happened.

Complete panic took over. I started searching online for immoderate benignant of reassurance that thing atrocious would person happened. Most of the discussions said that this is good if it?s a one-time happening and that if thing atrocious had happened, I would person noticed it immediately. The car cranks perfectly usually and starts close up conscionable fine.

I person immoderate spot successful it being an indestructible Honda, but I wanted to cognize much from the much mechanically experienced members of the forum. Any benignant of reassurance would beryllium fantastic, arsenic I bash not person the means to get this replaced arsenic a 19-year-old assemblage student.

Thank you truthful overmuch successful advance. Cheers.

Don't stress. Modern cars person capable tolerance.
I myself person cranked my car erstwhile oregon doubly erstwhile it was already on. (Old Esteem and Maruti 800 and Santro and all.) Because modern cars are truthful soundless adjacent erstwhile their engines are running.
Constant and repetitive cranking of this benignant volition drain the artillery and harm the starter motor. But an 1 clip occurrence similar this 1 astir most apt would not to person caused a large detrimental effect.

In the worst lawsuit a fewer teeth of the flywheel / starter centrifugal would beryllium damaged.

If it is bad, you whitethorn person to crank doubly oregon much to get the teeth successful position.

The grinding sound is the flywheel turning against the starter centrifugal teeth.

Whether you request to regenerate the flywheel / starter would beryllium connected however often the occupation appears.
