Eric S. 15 #1 Posted January 27, 2019 Any horse people have good experience with aftermarket starters vs OEM Kohler ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 16,299 #2 Posted January 27, 2019 Yes. I replaced the starter on my B-100 years ago with an after-market and it has been fine. I currently have one on the shelf just in case the need arises. Paid about $40.00 vs. $140.00 for Kohler. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eric S. 15 #3 Posted January 27, 2019 Thanks , yes the prices I have seen are similar 45 to 55 vs 140ish for Kohler but how much better as everyone else is wondering when replacement time comes . Thanks again . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 18,690 #4 Posted January 27, 2019 I look at this way the original lasted 50 years or so...If cheaper replacement lasts only half as long it will still outlast me... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 9,280 #5 Posted January 27, 2019 haven't really had a starter issue, but I use FLUID FILM ON THE STARTER DRIVE AND DRIVE GEAR , prevents rust and makes things smoother, pete 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
