stupid me got all excited about puting my motor in and didnt measure the size of my flywheel compared to my other one so now my starter doesnt grab my flywheel! is there anyway i can get a new starter instead of ripping my motor out and buying a new flywheel!?

what did the motor come out of? perhaps the starter that mates to that would work

What engine did you take out? What did you drop in? Did you swap the flywheel from the old one to the new one? Sounds to me like you put a 153 tooth flywheel on an engine that calls for a 168 tooth flywheel. You may need to drop the tranny and swap em. Good luck.
