ok so i had a bit of trouble with my skis over the holiday weekend as i posted in another thread but heres my new question.i have a 96 and a 97 gsx.the 96 i bought a new starter for the 96 last year(cheap ebay starter)that crapped out on me saturday along with the 97s on monday(oem).well the 96 starter i got has 9 spline bendix that i didnt notice until today after pulling the 97s which had 8 spline.now both skis have the same engines so shouldnt they have the same starter?now i dont know if the 9 spline is an enhanced version thats interchangable and made to work better or did i screw up and put the wrong starter on?im sending the 9 spline back tomm under the warranty it has but would like some info so i can get the correct one.another thing with it having an extra spline would it cause it to contact the flywheel when spinning the engine by hand cuz i had a grinding sound in the engine when i turned it but now i notice its gone with the starter removed.i kinda went over that issue in another thread trying to figure out what the noise was
