Searching for a starter clutch

Post by alexallen »

I am still using the Delco pull starter and am in need of a replacement clutch. Anyone have an idea where I can get one?

Niagara Air Parts used to be the go to for the pull starters but they aren't advertising it anymore. Don't know if they still service them on the side or not. All I can suggest is to contact them and see.

my understanding is Niagara is no longer making clutches. they are not servicable in the field, so as they start failing, we all will be switching to light weight starters I guess

Yup, this is a "tuff one". I get a couple calls a year on this issue and so far have been un-able to find a source..........

Did you check "marketplace"? Someone in Ohio has a couple of "pull type starters"
