The cheapest price on the Valeo is probably from B&M Starter in FL. It was posted on the MGCL a while back. I paid the full $320 for the one I upgraded my V7 Sport with. I think it's worth spending the money for the new one, personally. Ron Davis has them for $245, according to Tom Lanasa's post. I have the phone #.

Subject: RE: Starter Question

I have dealt with Mark and Moe to a lesser degree over the years- they
are great guys and they deserve our business, but I am also trying to
get a working starter as economically as possible- and I can find rebuit
bosch starters for old fiats for around $75 with the solenoid from a
reputable shop nearby my home- but I have to have something to reference
it to (they have to send to a local distribution wherehouse and they
will not let me go down there and pick through them to find the right
one-) they don't have a guzzi reference manual, and the actual starter
itself has bosch part number 000-001157-006- which apparently is not in
the bosch books anymore. So what I am trying to find is someone who has
actually found the exact guzzi starter as a stock part from a car so I
can reference it- or someone who has gone through this before maybe they
have a new bosch part number that corresponds to this starter.

Thanks for everyones help and comments- if I figure this out i will post
it for everyone to see.

Classics repairs them, not sure if he sells rebuilds.

Hi all, I have searched back through the old posts, but I have not found


the actual (current) Bosch part number for an Eldo starter- also if
there was a Automotive swap for the starter- I had heard that it was the


same as an early Fiat 850, but I looked at that one and it is not the
same. I was able to fit a later guzzi starter with the solenoid on top
by clipping out a very small piece of the battery tray, but I do want to


find an original style one.

Thanks in Advance,
