Yooper 0 #1 Posted February 23, 2018 I blew my electric starter. 1971 Snowblower. My mechanic can't find a starter. Any thoughts? Thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan693 510 #2 Posted February 23, 2018 You might try posting the model and serial # on here. I bet someone can give you advise and possibly even a source for a new starter. It's best, if possible, to take a clear pic of the engine model plate and post it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oliver2-44 8,849 #3 Posted February 23, 2018 There are many Chinese knockoff starters on eBay you could also take it to an automotive shop that rebuilds starters and alternators. But be careful going that rout and get a good cost estimate up front 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 46,723 #4 Posted February 23, 2018 As Dan mentioned put up a model # and some pics. Chance are good that's a Tecumseh so used starters should be a plenty. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,611 #5 Posted February 23, 2018 Lots of good helpful folks here, but it is always best to give as much information as possible because changed engines and other items from time to time. Engine make, model number and spec. number would help a great deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Try calling Martin Rebuilding Company in Wautoma. He does quality work at a fair price. I take all my starters & alternators to him. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 46,723 #8 Posted February 24, 2018 You holding out on me here Dan I never heard of the guy?? Does he do rewinds? What you might have Yoops is a trail blazer in either a 5 or 7.5 Tecky motor.... nice blowers that werel built to last ....maybe explains why you are lookin for a starter for one.
