My '67 80hp starter didn't look like that one. It had a separate bendix gear housing that bolts on top of the starter.

Codammit, how do you know your starter is bad? Have you opened it up to check for disconnected/worn brushes?

The one on E-bay is the wrong one for your mtr.

You should really try and see if the starter motor needs replaced or pinion and/or gear/shaft assembly need replaced. No need to spend more then what it takes to get running.

Can't you just carry it to a starter/generator repair shop and have it rebuilt?
