marine environment starter
Thanks for that Lat64,
....wasn't thinking about that aspect. I may need the Delco rubber solenoid gasket that MM sells. I'll disassemble new starter and compare to the one that came with the engine.
I have no reason to believe that the included starter is faulty (was told it was rebuilt in 2009), but couldn't pass up starting off with a fresh one....keep the old one for a spare....but too heavy to keep on the boat (even for me - I'm a maniac about spares: cruise with spare carb, coil, distributor guts, thermostat, fuel pump, Raycor filter...even my old 2 blade prop! That list doesn't include the normal tune-up stuff).
-Marty
