There are plenty of mini starters on ebay for $80-$110, new. I was wondering what could be bad with these, as $200 for one from Jegs seems a little pricey. The ones I'm looking at have the following specs:

153 or 168 tooth flywheels
10 lbs
2.0 horsepower
3.7:1 gear ratio/4.1:1 on some

 

I think the Summit brand mini goes for about $140. That's not bad, cause you know where you're gett'n it from and you know it's brand new. That's my $.02

 

my old 82 with the 400 small block is still starting with a summit ministarter..... i know the guy that i sold it to... he hasnt had any probs with it either... and its been in the car for several years...

im planning on buying another summit one when i get my long tubes...

 

I'm running the Jegs min starter without problems. So far it's lasted longer than the CVR pos I used to have.

 

Ive got a TCI ministarter never a problem no shimming about four years old and three cars later alls good
