Montjuic /Alpino Starter Motor Wanted

[RayChappo]

The spline on my Montjuic starter motor is worn and I'm trying to located a replacement.

Does anyone have a 500 starter they'd like to sell?

Thanks

Ray

Well good luck with that! They're almost as common as rocking horse poo.

Yup, I know, I think I've more chance of winning the lottery

Well if you win the lottery you will be able to afford to get someone to make you one (and a few spares)....

Hi Gunther
Thanks for the reply, that has about the same amount of wear as mine, I think it's a common issue.
I'm thinking of making a 10mm aluminum plate to go between starter and cases to move the starter out so the good bit at the end of the spline shaft engages with the starter gear, it's worth a try I think.
Regards
Ray

Hi Ray,
I found out, that the starter motors of Benelli 650 Tornado and some Guzzi/Benelli four cylinder engines have the same Bosch number stamped in as the Lav500 starter.
So you may look for such a starter...
