I have a 1983 35hp ELCTS...my first starter bracket cracked where the starter bolts mount to it ..2 of them....well it cracked on the outside one a month ago....I replaced it with a new one...now I looked at it and it is cracked again on the opposite side starter bolt..the carb side...on the newer one
The starter engages ok....all the bracket bolts are tight to the engine...I rebuilt the starter cleaning the commutator and doing new brushes....no binding...spins freely...lightly lubed the bendix shaft...I followed the OMC book to the T...
So what would cause the bracket to break twice and in the same spot just opposite sides
Thanks
