Has anyone purchased one of these starters for a two stroke? any feedback would be appreciated. thanks again

 

I bought one of the starer gears been working fine for about a year now. you can rebuild the starters yourself,, it is pretty easy, the hardest part is getting the starter out of the machine.

 

The part # on the starter is the same # as other places I've gotten starters from (ie. same manufacturer???) It's $10 cheaper than a "non gold" starter also listed - the only difference is the gold starter has a grease zerk added and painted gold.

I'd be willing to bet its a decent starter, and by the time you pay $50 for a REBUILD kit and count your labor and the gamble you don't have anything else wrong with a starter (like weak windings, or the imfamous worn "teeth") - it would be money ahead to buy a new starter.

 

does the grease fitting actually help? thanks again
