Changfa 22hp ZS1115GM starter replacement source?

[jeff]

I’m back again with another issue with my genset, been trying to revive my genset that has been sitting for a while.

It seems that my starter had started a bad habit, smoking! Lol

Been trying to start it using the starter when I noticed it had some light smoke coming from it, not sure how it happened but that is beside the point, I need to find a replacement for it.

I pulled the starter off, hooked up a good battery and it spun the bendix and everything seem to work except when under load, wouldn’t turn the flywheel much. This is after I seen some light smoke coming from it. Took it to a few auto parts stores and ask if they had something I could use locally, a no-go, took it to a auto electric repair shop to see if they could rewind it or rebuild it and he seem to saying he can’t get parts for it. So now I am at a loss of what to do.

Has anybody had to replace a starter on these types on engines, is there some Chevy, Ford or Type of starter that would fit this engine?

Many thanks again,

Try Master's farm supply in FLa. Several years ago they bought out one of larger importers supply of parts. They ARE old stock and may be weathered but I have never gotten anything that was unusable.
