The starter has a shim to adjust the mesh. Don't forget to setup the shim thickness. You can buy these from Ames Performance or others. There's a drawing of the starter on

No need to pay for shipping of these unless you can't find them locally.

Scepi, any starter you buy will probably have a free set of shims in the box. By the way, I recall a few members here are from your town, so do a search of this site and find them. That way you can also make some friends and get help in person.
