I have finished a 6 month frame-off restoration and the starter motor died before getting it on the road. Anyone have one to sell or point me in the right direction. Will pay good price if you have one. Thanks!

No.. just got word back.. he took it apart 5 times and got it running for a minute once. Put it on a machine..."Growler?"believes it is shorted in the windings. $50 just to tell me it is dead and of course they could rewind it for $450!...

Could you harvest the windings from a cheap GY6 starter?

I am looking into a identical motor like that except for the mounting bracket... and pulley. I would think they might be very much the same inside

Starter motors haven’t really changed much since 2008. Yeah I’d just find something very similar maybe try a few. Probably cost less than $50 to try more than one.

Give us some info, pictures, dimensions and shaft size if you have a way to measure, etc. And any markings?
