Angel,
The Rotax starter is identical to the Leopard starter. There are plenty of them around. I always carried an extra when we ran Leopards. Most of the time when a Leopard starter stops working it is because one of the brushes broke from vibration. You can buy a brush kit and easily rebuild the starter if that is the problem.
Anybody out there have a used, rebuilt Rotax or Leopard starter for Angel?
Unless the starter is damaged, it’s unlikely the armature is bad. A rebuild kit of either just brushes or brushes and bearings are readly available.
What Doug said.
And if the started case cracked, I’ve welded those and added a support ring, it worked just fine. I would weld it for you if this is the case. (pun intended)
As a side note. It’s not a bad idea to keep the chain lube build up cleaned out of the starter bendix area in front of the clutch.
Doug,
