Ahhhh thanks gil, feelin the love!. LOL! Any electric start from any proaction sled 97 and up will work. Best to find as a take off with all the parts. Keep an eye out here or e bay. The ony difference between the years was the connection to the ignition. You can simply cut the ends off and hardwire or make jumpers with push pin electrical connectors. Ive done both, work just fine. All proaction sleds are pre wired for them and the holes are in the block for the starter and holes in back of clutch for ring gear. There is a great write up in the tech section with step by step. Or do a search and you will find tons of good pic's and write ups. Very easy to do! Let me know if ya need any help!
