hello, I am new to this forum and this is my first posting.
I recently purchased a 1980 chrysler boat with a 45 hp model 457hol outboard motor. I believe that I burned up the starter at the lake last weekend. The carburetor got clogged and I kept trying to get it started by cranking the starter untill the battery died. Now the starter wont budge. the seloniod clicks, but when I put a test light on the starter connection the light comes on and off as I spin the starter. I purchased a starter rebuild kit but cannot figure out how to remove the starter. if someone could help me as to how to remove the starter it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
