Hugh;

You touch a main point rebuilding. Many times it is the condition of the tractor(or operator abuse,one & the same) which will affect how well or how long a rebuilt product will last. I do not, however, excuse myself or other rebuilders of being culpable. Recently I finished approx. 80 carbs ranging from H/M up to the C-301. I try to rebuild in somewhat of an assembly line mode and 6 carbs at a time fit on the bench. I had just finished putting 6 M carbs together and they were in the painting pile when somethinng in my mind kept tickling me. After about 30 minutes or so I realized the I had way too many Idling jets remaing on the bench. Sure enough, after tearing them apart, I saved myself a good dose of lively customers. Whew! On the other hand I had one gentleman buy one of my rebuilt starters. If I remember correctly, he was invovled in the movie business or something close to it, so it went next day air(expensive for a heavy starter). Next day he was swearing up & down about how this starter did not work & wanted another flown out next day air. He even went so far as to call the better business bureau. Yeah, fun! They called where I work. To shorten thiis story somewhat, That same gentleman called back to say the starter was not the problem in the first place, but the fact the tractor was improperly grounded.

Finally, to end this with my first train of thought to your SA starter problem; Barring some other possibilities, I bet you had a Cub drive instead of the (A/B/C--H/M--300/400 drive all the same). The Cub drive is identical but with an opposite rotation, so the bevels on the starter drive did not match the bevels on the ring gear. They would cancel each other out.
