Can somebody recommend a metal starter gear for a 19.5? Maybe all starter gears are the same, but I don't know anything about this stuff... Mine ate the old plastic one and I gather it'll probably do it again if I replace it with an OEM one.
The experienced techs on this forum hate guessing when we have so little information. Without having all engine numbers we have no idea what you need Each engine manufacturer has multiple engines with multiple starters. You don’t even provide us with the engine brand. We are good at helping people on this forum, but our crystal balls are cloudy and ESP has not worked since COVID. You need to help us before we can help you.
