Gday,

Starter motor is playing up on my shorty, Tb42 carby.

Contact cleaner hasn’t helped, but hitting solenoid with a spanner is working... planning on removing and inspecting / re-conditioning the wiring at end of he month before a big trip, but was thinking I’ll get a spare in case it doesn’t come good and then I can just swap.

I see a big difference in price between OEM and aftermarket starters for GQs.

Can anyone recommend if there is a good aftermarket replacement?

Also noticed there is 1 with an open ended gear and another with a cover, assume I need the open ended gear variant (240$)

Some screenshots of what I’ve seen are below:
