Well, I got the mufler and exhaust off and then saw a big mass of rust that was a starter at one time. I sprayed the whole thing with pb power break and wd and let it set for a while. tried to get the bolts out of the starter, snapped both of them off. My question is does the starter slide straight back, I mean now the bolts are broken it seems it would slide back, viewing a pic of a new starter it looks like there aren't any threads so the bolts must thread into the engine and the starter would slide back but I can't get it out so I'm asking the pro's here.

Thanks rhutson

I've done this much so I guess I'll pull the whole motor, besides that I'll have to drill out the broken bolts from the starter, then again I may just put back on the exhaust and covers and give it back, what do you all think.

yes it does slide back. You can tap it out from the inside of the front cover if it wont come out.
