Need more description of parts replaced. While the engine doesn't need the starter to continue running, it does require electronics. A 25 yo engine was produced around 1988, electronic ignitions and early computer control was being used then. The electronic ignition and some type of coil(s) must fire on every power stroke for the engine to run. No spark, no run. Sounds like the mechanic did a good job and the price is probably reasonable unless the fix took him 2 minutes. Again, need more info, need to know what parts were replaced and how much time he charged.
