      Bury that critter asap- go ebay (or boneyard) hunting for decent replacement. I bet the 850 starter would work-someone will know for sure.

          Hi,

          A few options:

          http://www.stockers-ems.com/


          Year Make Model Part Results from Rick's Motorsport Electrics
          http://ricksmotorsportelectrics.com/part/61-305/ODJTdXpHUzY1MEc=
          Aftermarket Motorsport Electrics parts for motorcycles, dirtbikes, atvs, motosport vehicles manufactured and distributed by Rick's Motorsport Electrics


          Places like J.C. Whitney and Motorcycle Superstore also sell aftermarket/rebuilt starters.

          Or buy a used one from eBay and clean it up, replace the brushes, etc.

          Thank you for your indulgence,

          BassCliff

              It looks like any shaftie starter will fit, plus several other 1980-84 models.

                          Looks like a bad solenoid or starter clutch took that starter for a ride!
