Ok, I found a starter motor buried in the container. Seems good: throws out and returns easily and the teeth aren’t chipped.
But how do I get the old one out? What are the tricks? On a 144 it’s a bit of a PITA, but I’m really struggling on the 244. I got the lower bolt off, fortunately it wasn’t too tight, but I just can’t get purchase on the upper one with standard spanners.
It’s got carbs but I really don’t want to take a carb off just to change a starter motor.
Help please!
