Starter rebuild kit needed

[driver_dav]

I need my starter rebuilt, not working the way it needs too, it sat for 10+ years and I tore it down and cleaned it and reassembled it, it was very dirty and gunked, I think I need a rebuild kit now to get it to work properly, does anyone know where I can find one? Also it has 4 electrical posts, The main one, solenoid to motor, solenoid switch one and I do not know what the 4th one is?
1996 Maxum 2100SR, Chevy 350 with a Mercruiser Alpha one gen 2, I do not know the engine year, all i could find is it was casted between 1987 and somewhere around 1994 I believe

there are 2 types of solenoids, short and long,both will work . the 4th lug you refer to was used to supply 12v directly to the coil for starting

I dont believe I removed a wire from the 4th post, I may have, do you know which color it would be? I have had it partial fire with no wire connected there

the 4th lug is only used with points ign systems

Just simply buy a new starter. You will be happier in the long run.....

buy a new starter is better is your starter a straight bolt pattern, or across, be sure is a marine starter, is plenty websites selling new starter on affordable prices, I just bought mine from a local source starter 85$, alternator 95$, both brand spanking new.

I cant afford a new starter, I just rebuild this whole engine and I am running dry on funds for it, wanted to sell this thing before winter so a rebuild kit is what I am looking for

It used to be common to rebuild things like the starter, alternator, fuel pump, etc and you could buy kits. These days it is hard to find a kit. You can still buy the individual parts I would guess... but you will need to do a search online and see.

Ayuh,... Rebuild Kits are but a footnote in history, today,.....

About all a 're-build kit' is, is brushes. As Merc used a few different starters on those engine a bit more info on the starter itself and I will find the parts you're after.
