Johnson 115 V4 Starter

[alcfer]

Hello, <br />I have a johnson outboard from 1984 v4 115 hp, model J115TLCRD.<br /><br />I bought the boat of second hand and have a problem with the starter. The starter is an American Bosch model 02M8 and in the bottom there is the following reference: 1791728M030SM.<br /><br />I must change the drive gear (Bendix), because the 10 tooth are wornout and can't move the flyweel.<br /><br />Does somebody know where I can find online this part of my bosch electrical starter?<br /><br />Many thanks for your help and congratulations to all for this forum.

Rick.... No offense intended but I'm curious about those numbers. My 1984 V/4 parts book states:<br /><br />The Bosch starter is #389954, superceeded up to #585057, then to latest number of #586283.<br /><br />The bendix drive gear is listed as being #385949 with a list price of approximately $18.00 to $20.00. I have one left in stock and have counted the gear teeth..... ten (10) teeth.<br /><br />Edited a few moments later....<br /><br />I went to that website and saw that the Mfg is ARCE which would account for the difference in numbers. (Got ahead of myself there).
