Re: type of starter

You should post pics of what you have.Some one will have one setting around.
I'm not sure the starter b-man listed for you is the right one.It's for the newer 50's According to your #s you have a 70's something motor and it takes a shorter starter.I think!!! Post a pic,with the starter on the motor.
You might be able to extend the life by taking it apart and turning the brushes upside down.J

Re: type of starter

I have no spare parts. The specs pics are the best I can do in the dark. Let me know if I need to send you more spec pics with more light tomorrow. Good Luck! JOW
