Hey all, question for you experts. My starter went out on my 1996 Seadoo XP. Last night I was searching ebay/Amazon for my model and starter. I was all set to purchase what was recommended for my model/year Denso 228000-4560 (OEM278001-301) 9 tooth sprocket. I didn't purchase just yet. Today I pulled my old starter that was replaced by a PWC shop 6+ years ago. It is a different model. It is a Denso 228000-6240 and only has 8 teeth. As I searched that number my model does not list as compatible (GTI,GTX,GSX). However like I said it has been in my machine for over 6 years without issue. So now I am perplexed. Do I buy what multiple stores recommend (9 tooth) or stick with my 8 tooth which I know fits and works. Suggestions? Much appreciated. Thanks
