You are welcome.
I should have noted the dash numbers are not related to the calendar years. All part numbers start out as -00-XX. If and only if they are updated do they change to -01-XX and so on and so forth.
The last two characters/digits in the dash number is a color code/finish code, if...
The Y in the model identity SX250TXRY indicates it is a 2000 model year motor.
The parts catalog shows that the SX250TXRY was delivered with a 65L-85540-01-00 CDI.
The -00-00 and the -01-00 CDI's have been superceded by the -02-00 CDI.
Either the 00-00, the 01-00 or the -02-00 CDI's will work...
See if you can find some solid state relays that have the current carrying capacity of the mechanical relays. Generally they have a much longer service life.
I suspect once you see the price of the solid state gizmo it might make sense to carry a spare mechanical relay.
Interestingly enough, what is called a stator in some Mercury Marine models is now called an alternator by Mercury Marine for the batteryless EFI models.
The stator being a part all alternators of course.
I am now wondering if these batteryless EFI's are inherently harder to pull start than non EFI models. It takes some mechanical energy to create the electrical energy needed to operate the ECU and electric fuel pump.
This thread talks about using an electric drill motor to crank the motor.
