Starter Recommendations.......
Think my starter is on its way out on my 98 Evo. The drive doesn't always engage with the ring gear, just spins. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a decent starter. I have compression releases so I don't think I need a super duper one. 1.4kw should do it... Any and all Recommendations would be appreciated...Thanx Bob..,

Sounds like you need a starter clutch...not a starter.

I have OEM Chrysler Nippondenso 1.4KW starters in both of my EVO's. I worked at an auto electric shop & picked up a couple of housings to adapt the car starters to HD. The 1.2KW stock starters labor too much turning over the hi compression engines in my bikes.

Shipped... Griz tells me that he's had his now for three years in his 96" build with no compression releases and never had a problem. So I just ordered one in wrinkle black. We'll see how it does. My current chrome cheepo I have lasted 8 years. Can't bitch about that I guess... Thanx guys.......

I agree with both you guys. OEM is always a good way to go. Ibdagriz hooked me up with a company in West Virginia, EMS. They carry the starters in 1.4 kw. For $103

I've been pounding for quite a few years with a Allballs 1.4, lost one starter clutch with the 89" and one with the big cube so it isn't bullet proof but hasn't had a easy cranking life.
When I had the big cube compression bumped up, the Allballs was getting abused on starts even with compression releases, it started on hot days but screamed "your a idiot" during engagement
