Tub ……..

I had a similar problem several years ago with a new starter I bought with the updated drive. No one told me I had to grind away the bell housing to make it fit. After a long time working on that I finally got the starter to fit. Once installed it barely turned over. I burnt out 3 solenoids before I took the damn thing out and threw in the trash. Had the original rebuilt and worked perfect. When I called the supplier the guy told me…..oh yeah we’ve had that problem. Didn’t you get the flyer in the box ! What flyer ? Why would you sell something that you knew wouldn’t work ?
