I'm still one of the few in my area that will replace a simple broken plastic Bendix gear on a starter for a customer. Of course there are many who are just cheap price shoppers so they go for the poor quality aftermarket starters. Most don't want to fuss with the pesky spring clip design.

I have a small collection of reconditioned starters that I keep on hand. If the armature has not been smoked, I would rather recondition an original

I do the same.

A guy that swapped in new starters for customers gave me a big pile of starters sometime back and I've reconditioned several of them that just needed a Bendix gear or Brush kit.

He also gave me a big pile of carbs, several were the OEM types carbs Briggs and Nikki's.
