I’m a little confused about what’s going on here….
Are you looking for a starter motor frame? I have one from a 35HP Gale, just like the one in the eBay link in the post above…and you can have it if you need it. But it holds a 3" diameter motor (which is what these engines take).
Or, are you looking for a frame that holds a smaller diameter motor? I’m not sure that exists. I can’t say for absolute certain, but if you got a 2-1/2" motor, I suspect you got the wrong one. I’ve never seen anything but 3" diameter motors on engines of this size / age.
FWIW, I bought a 3" motor on eBay for $52….works great.
Anyway, if you need a 3" bracket, here’s what I have. I don’t know if the motor is any good or not, but you can have it, too, if you want. The gasket is shot, so you’ll need to get a new one.
