I measured up the starters I have and they all have a center-to-center of 3 1/2" and most of them have a raised boss of 2 7/16" so I don't think they'd fit into the mount correctly. I do have one that's an aftermarket starter for a G50B that has a boss 2 1/4", but still has the 2 1/2" mount. I think the JLO starters may be a better fit, but they'd turn opposite direction. Which way does the starter have to turn in order for you to reverse?

I bought a kohler one of ebay that I am hoping will work. The seller said it was 3 9/16". I didnt ask about rotation so I am hoping. Looking at the gear end of the starter it need to go clockwise. But the toothed rotor can be put on the other side of machine too and that would make it work if its counter clockwise.
I will post my results with this old kohler generator I guess starter. I just won and payed auction today so hopefully by end of week I can get it and mess with it this weekend.
keep us posted Larry. if that doesn't work, i'll steal the starter off the next junk riding mower that comes through with a tecumseh and bring it to ashtabule for you.

That would be awesome. I will diffiantly update my findings. But I have a hh100 with a starter and its different. I have a hh120 with no starter but appears to mount the same way the hh100 does so I believe it wont work either. I also check a ohv180 and its also different. The electric reverse mount says kohler on it. This starter I bought looks like it would work and is off a kohler generator I guess. Crossing my fingers!
