Mt motor has the bolt holes that are not off set, but next to each other. I took the motor out to see what was happening and the shaft for the gears on the starter is almost right up against the gear ring for the flywheel... I took the starter back to see if there was a diffent type for my app., and was told that there is not... So what should I do? There has to be a starter that fits my motor somewhere? Should I try to use thick washers in place of the shimms? Sorry I wrote so much, I really want to get my baby on the road...
