It would not work on my engine, If I remember correctly there was some interference with the linkage for my fuel injection on the forward facing sump. I couldn't use the Skytec inline starter either so I had to go with the basic Skytec starter, I forget the number at this point. When Mattituck built the engine they didn't use the Van's linkage when they tested the engine so I didn't realize the B&C wouldn't work until I mounted the engine and installed the linkage so I have a brand new B&C starter sitting on a shelf.
I knew someone told me that it didnt fit!

Good to see your voice Paullie!

Shoot me a text with your preferred number and we can catch up!
