Product Information

Cross Reference and Number Format

The main part number for this product page is 28100-E0080. The format 28100E0080 is commonly used without the hyphen and should be treated as the same searchable number format.

Common cross references for this starter include Nikko 0-3655-020017, Nikko 03655020017 and Sawafuji 0365-502-0017. Some aftermarket references also list Lester 19271 and Sawafuji 0365-502-0141 as replacement references. These numbers should be checked against the old starter unit before ordering.

Do not confirm this starter only by similar Hino starter numbers. Starters with close part numbers may still have different mounting ears, pinion offset, gear teeth, rotation direction or electrical terminal layout.

Hino J08C Engine Application Notes

The 28100-E0080 starter motor is mainly prepared for Hino J08C diesel engine starting system service. It is suitable for repair buyers who need a replacement starter motor after slow cranking, no-crank failure, solenoid failure or pinion gear damage.

Some public references may mention broader Hino engine families or Hino truck applications. These should be treated as model references only. For accurate replacement, confirm the starter nameplate and compare the physical structure with the original unit.

Common Failure Symptoms

• The engine does not crank when the start switch is turned on.

• The starter solenoid clicks, but the motor does not rotate.

• The starter turns slowly even when the battery is charged.

• Abnormal grinding noise appears during starting.

• The pinion gear does not engage or does not return smoothly.

• The starter overheats after repeated start attempts.

Troubleshooting Before Replacement

Before replacing the 28100-E0080 starter motor, inspect the battery, cable, relay and ground circuit. A weak electrical supply can create symptoms similar to a failed starter motor.

• Check battery voltage and load capacity before removing the starter.

• Inspect battery terminals, ground cable and main starter cable for looseness or corrosion.

• Check the starter relay, ignition switch signal and solenoid control wire.

• Confirm that the engine is not mechanically locked or hard to rotate.

• Compare the old starter part number, voltage, rotation and drive teeth with the replacement unit.

Installation and Maintenance Notes

• Disconnect the battery before removing the starter motor.

• Clean the mounting surface and check that the starter sits flat against the engine housing.

• Tighten mounting bolts according to the service requirement and avoid misalignment.

• Check electrical terminals and insulation before reconnecting the battery.

• After installation, test starting performance and listen for abnormal gear engagement noise.

• Avoid repeated long cranking because it can overheat the starter motor and damage the solenoid.
