Well.. batteries checked out fine. On to the rest of the tests!

Well you learn new things every day! Thanks. I don't always do the best homework before asking things, so I greatly appreciate the input from those who know better. I just saw the "overhauled on (date)" on others that had motors swapped and assumed it was standard practice. At least I have...

Ok thank you! I will do this sequence next. Just out of curiosity, and please forgive me if the Googles had this answer already, but is there a more "inexpensive" starter that still fits and works? I see different places charging $500-$600 for a starter, but I don't know if there's an "over...
