Is Arrowhead SMU0023 any better starter? Is this OEM brand?

 

[Stevie96xp]

No it’s not oem denso is oem but the best aftermarket ones I’ve found is caltrek

 

[JimTex]

Does Amazon or EBay carry Denso?
Thanks

 

[Stevie96xp]

eBay should

 

[JimTex]

Don’t see it on EBay

 

[Stevie96xp]

Yeah ok then I guess then after market or a used oem starter

I can’t seem to install the starter all the way in. What can I do to install it all the way in? I don’t want to break it. Any suggestions

It should go all the way in by hand.
Try turning the PTO flywheel at the back of the engine. Grease the starter o-ring.
Make sure the rear starter support bracket isn’t catching the crankcase.

I greased and even turned the shaft and tape it with 2x4 but still needs about 1/2”

 

[JimTex]

I guess I need to look and see if it’s hung up

 

[Stevie96xp]

Yeah it sounds like it’s stuck or something

 

[JimTex]

Ok, I took the starter out.
Now I can see that it was hitting the bolt hole flange of the starter. So it was slightly turned and would not go in. You were right.
Now trying to wiggle it back in, way too hard. It won’t just slip right in.
Note: the carburetors are still installed so trying to blindly install it. Going by feel.

If you do go ahead and instal the starter without removing everything use some grease or something sticky in your socket so you don’t lose the bolt while putting it in. Not sure about yours but on the 95XP your putting the bottom bolt in blind
