You can "search" for it the same way I would! I don't have it stored locally, if that's what you mean.

Re the permanently belted up starter........a golf cart starter/generator is just that. Mine has been installed for a few years and the set-up has logged nearly 1000 hours. Drag is insignificant. Can still easily pull over 3kw without frequency going from 61Hz @ no load to 59hz at max load of 3600W. I did have to replace starter brushes once. The pulley diameter on the starter/generator is (I think) around 1 7/8". Also it keeps it's own independent starting battery charged, can charge a car battery, etc. It is operating now, at this time of year, we don't get much sun.
I also have (still installed but not in use) a modified Delco automotive starter with a 2" rubber roller. It works OK but must be in firm contact with the flywheel (Pick handle lever) before energizing or you just get a lot of burned rubber. That method did not work very well with freezing fog making the flywheel slippery.
Just bought quite a few 114.5mm and 120MM bore head gaskets from them last month. I think then O P was referring to the old cyber store that John's sister ran.Interesting. I contacted Gaskets to Go directly back in June, and he said he did not have any, and wasn't making any, and that I needed to email his sister to see what she could find. Based on this, I was under the impression that he wasn't making them anymore and that I was stuck with whatever overstock his sister had stashed. I'm relieved to hear that you were able to get some recently. Perhaps I just fell victim to the COVID slump that struck in the spring when nobody was making anything. Whew.
