Nice! I'm sure it was cracked.
Did the starter go out I'm guessing?

 

[Rushford_Ripper]

Actually no, I pulled it to clean the motor and what not, it was really stuck in there. Glad it happened before I installed the motor

Ouch!

 

[restosud]

at least the oring seems ok,gonna save you $1 or $2

Seen that happen many times before. Corrosion and crud around the starter nose make it hard to get the starter nose to release from the cases.

You need to pry between the cases and starter on both sides at the same time to prevent this from happening. If you pry just on one side, then pop and nose can snap off.

One more headache lol

Ryan, I have a brand new SBT 39-401 starter I would sell for $60. They're not as good as OEM, but it is Brand New.

go OEM bro. Saving $ on that part will caost you $ in batteries and time in changing the starter frequently (unless your low compression and charging electrics). If T/L and or over 190 comp I would go OEM on the starter.

 

[Rushford_Ripper]

Its just a stock 650 motor

 

[sjetrider]

so those carbs dont go to that motor huh LOL

 

[Rushford_Ripper]

Ummmm...... no lol, they aren't even mine

I went through 2 of those SBT starters in 4 rides and ended up getting a used OEM for $50 and haven't had a problem

You tried to pull it off? I hope you bought it dinner first

Use a pickle fork with electrical tape on the ends. Don't ever pry with metal against the cases. They are aluminum and any tool will be harder than them.

This has happened to me before. Put some marine grease around it before installing the new one.
