Hello All,

Well I have done everything everyone suggestion on my starter. The Bendix gear just keeps sticking so the starter does not engage. I have cleaned the shaft, I have tried it dry, I have lubed it with multiple products. It works for a little while and then sticks.

I have seen a few postings that replacing the bendix can be a real pain. I see aftermarket starter online for a pretty reasonable price (<$75). The aftermarket starter are like half the price of a kohler. Anyone have experience with these aftermarket starters?

Thanks
