Wonder if it needed shims or some such tolerance issue?
That looks like a PowerMaster starter with their Infi-Clock rotation system.

There are internal shims for the starter face, to pull the gear away from the flywheel. I had to send mine back to PowerMaster and they installed a "special" second shim. The instructions say only to use one internal shim. I have the 9603 model.
