Am I missing Something?

Still plenty of talented rebuilders in the world, and I'm not talking about the production shops who supply the chain stores. I'm talking about your local benchwork shop. I have one I've used for years, various techs, to rebuild my starters, carburetors, and alternators. Always a good job done. If I do have to grab either of those part for a quick fix I pay to keep my core

The advantage of a mini-starter is the air space they give away from exhaust. Just 1" does wonders. For home building code (my state) all you need is a 1" air space between wood framing and chimney flue. I use a min-starter with my headers for that reason. Distance from heat source is the big advantage of a remote solenoid as well
