Starters for these engines are no longer available and good used ones bring a premium price. I buy buy every one I can get and am watching 2 on Ebay right now..

Here are the only 2 on ebay as the company Celtic doesnt not offer one to fit as these have not been made for years and no aftermarket company makes one.....

Hi
I have the one with pin bolts.
I guess the one with bolts are stronger to start an i have seen similar ones for sale on ebay as new.
But for that one needs special bracket which i dont have.
