Yea...if you replace your starter #4 gear ......make sure you you use the original wishbone on the new gear...way stiffer..bend all you want on the replacement wishbone but it is weak and can cause future problems with miss starts and jumping out .....learned this one the hard way........have some pictures also on how to refurb a used gear to make it like new that skips and doesn't enguage properly...and make it go deeper into the crank teeth instead of just halfway so it doesn't wear on the edge of the teeth.........bit of a teck thing and you can regrind the face of the old starter gear and remove the rubber on the engine side for a more complete engagement ......but you better have the original wishbone....will show later if anyone cares.............Thought I would start a new thread on this subject because everyone will be into this subject........sooner or later......
And a grinding and crap starter will hose your center main and R/S main eventually...
