When I bought my engine there was a starter in the box which I assumed
was a Mazda starter.   Turns out it is a Mitsobishi.   It is about 1/2"
smaller diameter than the Mazda and weighs 7.4 lb.   Anybody know what
the Mazda starter weighs?   The starter gear matches the teeth on the
flex plate and it appears that it will engage fully.   If enough weight
is saved using this starter  may be a good idea.      Jerry

Looks like the standard 13B starter to me Jerry. There have been some variations
over the years and the 93 and later is an entirely different animal.
