RICK'S MOTORSPORT ELECTRIC starter, model 61-196, is an aftermarket starter motor designed for Honda applications. It features longer-life bearings than the OEM design and incorporates an engineering change intended to help protect the output bearing from moisture-related corrosion.
Many OEM starter motors use an unprotected output needle bearing positioned outside the output shaft seal. Moisture can enter the motor's output cap and travel along the armature shaft to the bearing. This RICK'S MOTORSPORT ELECTRIC unit uses a double-sealed ball bearing, with the output shaft seal positioned on the outside of the bearing. This arrangement helps protect the bearing from damaging water entry while also allowing the sealed ball bearing to be replaced.
