Thanks Norm,
Yes I know what you mean. Local mower shop quoted about $65 for a starter but only $ 200 for a complete Sanli engine.Not hard to see which way most would go but its probably easier just to wait till somebody has a special on complete mowers
Yet the engine seems to run very well and has been very reliable. If my lubrication of the starter fix doesn't work in the long term, I'll just go to the old fashioned cord with a knot at least in the short term.
Thanks for your comments
Jeff
