[RICK LAKE]

ERA Chas I have run a tilton starter for 10 years. I have had a problem with the alignment of the stater gear and flywheel. The starter drive I replaced in 1/2 hour and works fine. I would still run heavy starter wire down to the starter even though the ampage drain is alot less. Old starters anywhere for 150-250 amp draw and a spike of 350-500 amps. The minis are 100-150 and also crank your motor over at a lower rpm. If everything is setup right with choke and timing it will fire right up. You can't go wrong with a mini, Just make sure you have the correct gear clearance of .035" when the starter gear is engaged. If your starter has 3 bolts and you can only reach 2, try a short stud for the 3rd one and nut it wih a nyloc nut. Good luck Rick L.
