Where to get the best mini starter

[y3chargerrt]

Where would you recommend getting a good mini starter. I got one off on E bay a few years ago. It was a cheap one costing maybe $70.00.Its starting to have problems and I would like to get a higher quality one.I dont need a race car part because my compression is only 9.6:1.

Usually the only thing that goes wrong with the mini-starters is the copper contacts and the plunger wear out and they don't make contact very well, since they are o-ring sealed and use bearings instead of bushings they will last for a long time. I have gotten the repair parts from an alternator and starter wharehouse and it was a Wilson brand product, the kit comes with two copper contacts and the plunger and they used to be in the 15 to 20 dollar range for price. Either take your starter in or get a number off of the starter and you should be good to go.

The problem with my starter was the small connection for the solenoid.Its has a cheap rubber insulator to keep it from shorting.it was not tight in the housing and sometimes would short out.I reinstalled my original starter and I'm going to stay with that one. I didn't realize how much I missed the Mopar starter sound!

Just buy a stock starter from an early 1990's B series van. They are all mini, high torque starters. With your exchange starter you might be talking $80 bucks?
