Hey all..

I need a new started motor, I want to know how to swap it in.

Im assuming I take the recoil off, than what?

I have never done this before

thanks

 

After you remove recoil,remove two bolts at bottom that hold starter. also opposite end of starter is a bracket that hold starter also. Several ways to remove: Either pull clutch cover and clutches plus backing plate to get access to complete starter bracket and starter,after starter and bracket removal check bendix,grease/replace if bad also. Another method: remove recoil and two bolts, stand on tail end,remove skid plate, remove bracket(back screws hard to get to) and starter. Easier for me to remove skid plate and clutches since I have a lift and clutch tools. Not a good job anyway you do it. Good luck.
