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.

Check with Moe at Cycle Garden, I bought a Marelli rebuild from him,
sent him my old starter, he sent me the rebuild. I think Mark at MG
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,
