Starter problem

This old forklift still works great, but it is difficult to start, even with a new, fully charged battery. I am trying to find a starter for it. It is an air cooled 4 cyl. and uses lp gas.
The starter on it now is a Delco Remy Model 1107163, Serial #8H26
A company said that the HY118616A starter is what they come up with, but the picture shows the solenoid to be 90% off from where it is on my starter.
Does anyone know which starter this lift takes? Thank you for your help.

Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
