replace starter motor on briggs and stratton 18 hp

It's a lot of fun... you are supposed to remove the flywheel... but if you are careful it CAN be done without doing that.

I've done it twice on a 20hp which is essentially the same engine. What makes it difficult is the length of the bolts... with the flywheel in just the right position it can just barely be done. Don't know exactly how to describe it however...
