Blaster Starter replacement on b2

[Tyler Zane]

Does the stock exhaust on a blaster 2 760 have to come off to replace the starter?

Before I take on this pig of a job I'd like to know, engine is crusty and I may pass on it if the exhaust has to come off the cylinder..

You can finagle your way around it but it’s really tough - if engine is crusty I’d be really concerned about getting old one & bolts out of there without breaking anything. I just had the snout break off a starter for the same reason in a Raider I bought for parts.
Good luck with it

It tight. May could pull elbow off the pipe only.

Thanks guys I'm going to pass this job along. I'm so done with working on crusty couches.
