The kids generator locked up on him, thinking he had damaged the engine as his motorhome was leaning to one side. Anyway I pulled it out and removed the engine side cover to see how bad it was, engines fine wound up finding the starter drive jammed into the flywheel. So now I need a new side cover gasket and would like to know... do I replace the starter as an assembly or locate a new drive for it? Damn things made of plastic, so not sure how to proceed. Final question, what's the best source for these parts? Thanks in advance for any replies. Joe
