My Toro Wheelhorse 227-5 17hp has a Kawasaki FC540V-3807 17hp engine and has a Denso 21163-2085 128000-7070 starter motor which has an 11 tooth Bendix gear. I need a new starter motor but am finding motors on the internet are Denso 21163- 2093 fitted with 9 tooth Beendix gear. Are these 21163-2093 9 tooth motors compatable with my Toro flywheel ring gear?

You can not substitute 9 for 11.

If the distance from the mounting bolts to the starter shaft are the same you can usually swap out the starters and change over the bendex
