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.

Fact of the week
In 1898, author Morgan Robertson wrote a novel called 'Futility', which described an "unsinkable" ship named the Titan that sank after hitting an iceberg. Fourteen years later, the Titanic sank in a strikingly similar fashion.
