2615 starting problems.

[consaka]

It does crank just a tad faster, and that little bit is usually all it takes. maybe the battery is just a little off. Its new though. A 16 volt battery would probably be just right . But then I am not positive I dont have a glow plug on the fritz. Seems like one cylinder wants to fire before the others.
so where are the ebay starters made?

Ebay has starters for 2615 from $123-165.00
Does your starter crank faster when you try jumping it with a charger or jumper cables?
You have the long timer. That's the one I installed on my 04 2615. The early models had a short timer.
Do you have a block heater or inline lower hose heater? If not it may be time to get one. The inline lower hose heaters can be installed in less than an hour. You'd be amazed how fast it starts when the coolant temp is 140 deg.

DBelectrical is one of the sellers of the starter. They are in Tennessee. Have no idea where they get them. Same starter fit a multitude of tractors. They are probably made in China like most things but who is to say a starter you get from a dealer isn't made there also. The engine is a Mitsubishi after all. May be assembled here but technology is foreign.
