Buying a used starter: what to check

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