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.

According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
