Pete,

Head out to your local parts store, Flaps, Schucks, Autozone, etc... and get
the starter with a lifetime warranty.  I got my first one many years ago and
I've never had to buy another (been through 4 of them) and with a national
parts store I can get one anywhere.  I got mine at Parts America when Sears
owned them so now my warranty is through Sears, which uses Napa parts.

Subject: replace starter

I need to replace my starter.  What should I do other than
just  going to the local supplier get one.  I would like to
get the best  starter I can.

Thanks,

FWIW - 80 Westy starter - I did 3 "rebuilts" from my FLAPS - one in a
campground in CO (a fun trip from CA with push sarts every morn) they were
all
guaranteed but what a PITA. $100 - Bus Depot - no probs for 3 years  with
this
starter - other probs yes - but the starter is great.
