I got a new boat. The starter is seized hard. Bendex moves fine by hand but not a peep from the starter (including by direct power its seized good)
SO I have a replacement starter. 2 problems.
How do I get the bugger off without ripping apart the entire engine that I am not confident I could put back together properly again.
the 2 bolts are obvious the third bolt less so. its between that unit with the intakes and chokes on it which I really don't want to go screwing with. is there a toll that will permit me access to that bolt?
I thought I could remove that piece at the top alas it has a third bolt that "IS" in fact the very bolt I need to remove to begin with Grrrrr
also. how do I "swap" the bendex. the replacement starter is the right shape etc.. but the bendex is smaller so I will need to swap over the bendex from the starter in the boat to the replacement starter.
This is a 1971 Larson Saber 1500 and I believe its the engine that came with the boat. Johnson 60hp.
suggestions and advice? where can I get manuals for this engine etc..
