Buying a used starter: what to check

Ask if the unit was bench-tested. Starters are cheap to test and yards that do will say so.
Match the flywheel tooth count and mounting bolt pattern to your engine code.
Check the solenoid connector style; mid-year changes are common.
A remanufactured unit with warranty is sometimes only slightly more than used, so compare both.
