Kohler Starters

The K series 'big blocks' had several different starters. Is any one of them clearly superior to the others?

I think that I heard somewhere that the magnum starter was superior in some way, but that it needs some sort of mod to fit. :hide:

I'm told that one starter has magnets. The other has field windings. There are different end caps.

I'm really going out on a limb here :hide: but.......back when I sold car parts in the early 90's seems as though the permanent magnet starters were kinda new. Peolpe used to smack the old style starters with a hammer to get a couple more starts out of them before expiration, with the newer style starters if you smacked them hard enough you could crack the magnets and ruin them. I seem to recall that the permanent magnet starters were more capable for the size :D . I hope this helps :hide: .
