well that makes sense... ill probably just buy a new one...

would that make it weak? like it wont turn the motor over on its own but will keep it spinning if i pull it too

ok, maybe that is the difference.. the brushes on mine dont look anything like that... theres just 2 and the armature goes inside them. but also some of the copper wires on the armature are what are broken/missing and i would imagine thats what is "more" wrong than the brushes...

i cant seem to find any kits to rebuild the one on my motor.. the number on the starter is MDO-4102. the sierra number is 18-5629, there are many different OMC numbers for it but the one im using is 378674... i would most definitely rebuild it if i could, lol i am all about saving money, even if...

yeah mine is a v as well.. forgot to mention that

from what i have been told, you cant rebuild prestolite starters... idk but it didnt look like all that stuff came apart on the inside. the guy i always go to for all my boat parts and what not said that the prestolite starters cant be rebuilt

Should be ok... but the only way to tell for sure is to GET OUT THERE AND CATCH SOME FISH!! lol

Lol well I said I have electric start, not that it works.... I actually have to buy a new starter for mine to work correctly. It will keep the motor spinning if I "help" it start spinning. I took the starter apart today actually and some of the copper wires inside it for the brushes had actually...

yeah i think i may actually do it that way instead of the way i was going to, depends on how much travel the cable has.. i plan on hooking up a regular old choke cable to the throttle and shift linkages, with modified handles lol.. oh and i do have electric start!! :LOL2:

i did put up some pics of some drawings on how i plan to do it, but i havent done it yet... i have to redo the floor that i had put in my boat, since i let it sit unsealed for about 6 months

Not so sure about marketing Lol since I will be using someone else's product, but I guess I could probably do some custom installations.....

lol i would much rather spend time than money, but that may just be me lol.. i think im going to get some teleflex off ebay for the steering, since i found it for around $20... i can fab the rest lol, im not too bad with a sharpie, welder, and a reciprocating saw lol

possibly, well more like probably... if its a newer 9.9 the hp rating should be measured at the prop, my old '67 model 18 isnt... so give about a 30% loss of power on that (i believe its about the same as a car) and it gives me roughly 12.6hp to the prop, theoretically. have u seen how it...

well, i decided to draw up a couple pics of what i plan to do, if it comes true or not.. who knows lol.. anything u think i should look at differently?

it depends on alot of different things (prop pitch, whether the hp rating is at the crank or at the prop, etc.....) BUT i have an old 18hp evinrude on my 14ft starcraft and i had myself (about 220) and 2 buddies (one probably close to 200 and the other about 175 or so) and all of our gear and...

i have some pretty handy fab skills lol, i plan on drilling as few holes as possible, so i think im going to attempt the teleflex style first, if it doesnt work ill just use the pulley setup.

tnriverluver- yeah i did a search but id rather not spend that much... lol yeah i know im greedy... christmas and my 10 month old have pretty well drained the wallet.... thudpucker- how cheap we talkin? lol tusker- yeah i saw those pulley systems, if i cant figure out a cheap way of doing the...

actually, we sell them up to 15' and theyre decently cheap. i havent decided if i want the controls in the center of the boat or in the front, but there is a 12' for $14

lol, exactly my point... but i believe i could use something like a manual choke pulloff for a car as the shift/throttle linkages, but i do believe i will have to get the teleflex of what not for the other, as i dont know of anything on a car (that i can buy at autozone) that would be strong...

im not the best with hydraulics, but wouldnt i need one pump for each direction? or would it "suck" the lever the other way as well? i would need 3 2-way levers to make it happen
