I have been running a Summit starter for 15 or more years. It has been perfect, no hiccups. Same nose gear-clutch assembly.
The instructions said to use shims to tilt the starter for 1/8" clearance when the teeth come together. I ended up using a 1/2" flat washer on the outside bolt tilting the starter inward. Test fitted it by pulling the nose gear by hand into the ring gear and checking the clearance in the crotch of the teeth with 1/8" welding rod.
