I am installing a 2001 Impreza 2.5 on a gyroplane here in Panama. We are using a prop speed reduction unit. It bolts where the tranny would be. I bought a starter for the engine but the throw on it is too short to engage the flywheel. I was told by a starter shop that I need a Lester 17717

 

I would like to get a used one asap shipped to Miami (they forward to here).

 

Anyone know where I can get one of these (and is the throw in fact longer than the one I have?)

 

Thanks

I bought a starter for the engine but the throw on it is too short to engage the flywheel.

 

the starter for a manual trans engine is different from the starter for an auto trans engine. one is longer than the other. i'm an auto trans guy only, so i don't know which is which. but someone will and then it is a piece of cake, plus shipping.

I have one from a 97 Impreza 2.2 MT that looks identical to that. $35 plus shipping.
