starter bendix - want to purchase centrifugal
Posted: Mon Feb 11, 2013 9:23 pm
Hi All,
I would appreciate any suggestions as to where I can purchase a centrifugal type starter bendix. Please refer to the "starter bendix" post (using the search window) that was posted here on September 17, 2012 at 10:59am. In that post, the two different types of starter gears are pictured. My timing is right, my condenser is new, but when it is cold the engine needs a couple of full turns before it fires up and stays running. My spring type starter gear kicks out too early.
I tried ordering one from NAPA auto parts - but they only acquired the spring type. The NAPA parts guy said that both types have the same part number (is that true?). I am thinking that I might have to go to a tractor boneyard - but I would much rather purchase a brand new one.
Am I correct that both types fit on the same starter shaft?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
