Just got off the phone with Roger Wallick of motorcycle-recycle-center.com and he says "sorry but I know that starter is good". Bummer.
I can insist the moon is made of green cheese, does that make it so?
The guy is a jerk and is using bluster to cover up his lack of ability, I see it all the time.
If you're anywhere close to Eaton IN, you can stop by and I'll give you a starter. But I'll be gone for awhile starting tomorrow morning, so it's a limited time offer

Sounds like a really good warning to never do business with him. He probably hooked it to a battery and it spun so he thinks it's golden. Unless you load test it, there's no way to know if it's good. Pretty obvious it is failing under load.Just got off the phone with Roger Wallick of motorcycle-recycle-center.com and he says "sorry but I know that starter is good". Bummer.

No. You would need some kind of test fixture that loaded the gears like it is in normal operation.Will Auto Parts Stores, etc be able to load test this starter? In other words can it be load tested on a bench?
