Post subject:  Starter Motor Rebuild
What should a starter motor cost to get re-coed?,is there an alternative such as a high -torque to suit a1310 (mine has alway's seemed lazy )or will most mini starter's do the same job?. Any help in this area would be apprciated.

1. Karcraft for example sells one factory reconditioned in UK, for $127.
I have seen exchange starters lots dearer from various auto electricians.
2. For about $170 you can get a NEW pre-engaged one to suit early Minis, from Heritage MG Parts, at Smithfield.
3. For $240 or so you can get a similar type (but different brand) pre-engaged one from Mini Classic and others.
4. For $40-$50 you can go get a Gemini one from a wreckers, also pre-engaged type. Need to enongate their mounting holes but they bolt straight in.

Your choice... I run option #1 and when it dies I'll use option #2.
:lol:

Note- an S oil cooler won't fit in a roundnose with any of these pre-engaged ones unless you can move it sideways towards the radiator.

Thank's very much Doc,
I"ll look into the Karcraft option, it wouldn't hurt to have a spare and i'll check with an auto electrician up here as to reconditioning mine.

I can sell you either a Gemini starter ready modified to fit the Mini engine or I can recondition a lucas M35 one for you for $100 exchange plus post . I also have Special Bosch planetary gear starter motors specially designed for Mini engines Guaranteed to start the biggest High compression Mini engine with ease.

Yes, it fits the early style Mini ring gear and engages from the front- so even if the old ring gear is a bit s/h looking from running the old bendix type, it works OK.
Just need to elongate the flange holes, and check flywheel depth. If flywheel is a long way onto crank you may need to pack the geMini starter out a bit. :wink:
