FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do I test if my Kohler V-Twin engine won't start due to a faulty starter vs. battery?
Battery Load Test: Measure DC voltage across battery terminals. Fully charged resting state is 12.6V+. While turning the key to START, if voltage drops below 10.5V, charge or replace the 12V battery first.

Solenoid Jump Test: With safety interlocks engaged, use an insulated jumper cable to briefly connect the 12V battery positive terminal directly to the main terminal post on the starter motor. If the starter spins rapidly when jumped, your starter is functional and the solenoid or safety module is at fault.
My original starter has 9 teeth. Can I use this 10-tooth Lester 5801 model?
No. Installing a 10-tooth starter on a 9-tooth flywheel setup will cause gear binding, severe grinding noise, or stripped flywheel teeth. Always physically count the gear teeth on your original starter pinion before purchasing. If your original unit features 10 teeth and CCW (counter-clockwise) rotation, Lester 5801 is a direct drop-in fit.
What warranty protection and return policy does Durautos offer for Lester 5801?
Durautos offers a full 1-year limited warranty against electrical and mechanical manufacturing defects. There is a $0 core charge, meaning you receive a 100% brand-new unit with no old core return shipping required. Shipped directly from our US-based warehouse inventory within 24 business hours.

Fantastic Replacement

Got the package. Installed in 20 minutes. Works great. Fantastic replacement for my SV840 series Kholer (Courage 7000) 27hp engine on my Bad Boy. Sounds much better than the factory one that the shaft broke on. Has plenty of power to turn the engine. Perfectly compatible with my model engine.

So far so good

So far so good. Installed this aftermarket starter to replace the original starter in a 2011 Cub Cadet LTX1050 with 24 HP Kohler Courage Engine that has approximately 500 hours of use. The original starter experienced a catastrophic failure with the center bolt that runs through the armature snapped. Cost to replace with an original manufacturer replacement part from Cub Cadet would have been approximately 6 times greater than the amount paid for this compatible product. Installation was fast and easy, and the engine started up on first try. As stated above, no complaints so far but am only giving 4 out of 5-star rating because I need to further assess the durability of this product. Given the lawn tractor's age, accumulated hours of use and other unrelated mechanical problems, I decided to go with this much less expensive replacement part. Time will tell if I made the right decision.

Direct Fit Replacement

This was a direct fit replacement for my Craftsman DGS 6500 garden tractor. It seems to be well made and was a simple swap out. I lined up the gear teeth with the flywheel, but it still ground the flywheel a bit. It seemed to sync up on its own and has been working with no issues.

Top Quality 10-tooth Starter

These Starters are VERY! well built and the cost is well below what you would spend at a Outdoor Power Equipment store. To add to that?, these Starters are just as good as a "Re-Built" if not better in my opinion. HIGHLY! recommend.

Great starter on my Toro LX 500 Twin cylinder riding mower

On 3/11/26, I installed this new Durautos starter. There is only 2 bolts holding the starter on, that used a number 10 size metric socket and I also had to take off the Hotwire on the bottom right side of the starter with a 7/16 box end wrench, I also had to take off the oil filler clamp that bolts on to the starter and for that I used a number 6 metric box end wrench. Those were the only tools I needed to complete the job. I didn't even have to take off the hood.Then to do it right, I took out my old battery and went to Sam's Club with my old battery, so I woundn't get a $20.00 core charge and bought a new Lawn Mower battery that comes with a 6 month warranty, price $42.88 plus tax and installed it under the seat in my Toro LX 500 in 2 minutes. Now, as soon as you turn the key it starts up instantly. Life is so beautiful when your riding mower works correctly !!!Also, doing it myself I saved money, so I took my beautiful wife Ana out for dinner.

Reliable Starter for Kohler 7000 Series Engines - Smooth Installation and Performance

I recently replaced the starter on my Kohler 7000 Series engine with the Boatrip 5801 10-Teeth Starter, and I couldn't be more satisfied. This starter is a direct replacement for several Kohler part numbers, including 3209801, 32-098-01S, and 32-098-03S, making it compatible with a wide range of engines like the KT745, KT740, and SV715 .Installation was straightforward, and the starter fit perfectly without any modifications. Since installation, the engine has started reliably every time, even after extended periods of inactivity. The 10-tooth gear meshes well with the flywheel, ensuring smooth and efficient starts.For the price, this starter offers excellent value. It's a cost-effective alternative to OEM parts without compromising on quality or performance. If you're looking for a dependable starter for your Kohler engine, I highly recommend the Boatrip 5801.
