I finally got to the repairs. Changed the flywheel ring, rubber pump coupler, and installed a starter from Linde. Works fine. The operator says the engine performance when driving and lifting is better. The problem all started when we started purchasing aftermarket starters. Linde starter is twice the cost, but it could have eliminated changing the flywheel.
Thanks for the input.
