We finally got the starter out of the Mercruiser Chevy 350 I/O. It wasn't easy! We took it to the nearest auto parts supplier to get them to check, since it would not turn the engine over.
They couldn't get their testing machine to work. I told them that our starter was a 1984, I think, so they suggested they would get a rebuilt one out and check it. The machine still failed to show either one was working.
This rebuilt starter looked exactly like the one we just removed from the Mercruiser 350. I wonder how much difference there really is between the marine and the auto?
I know that we don't need sparks under the engine cover, however I fail to see how these two starters are different. Can someone educate me.
