Re: Need Yamaha 3.0L L4 Parts
NO. i am not saying to use that starter. It needs to be marine rated. The starter itself, is the same on the outside, but the automotive one will NOT be spark prrof. Meaning, when you activate it, it will make small sparks which could ignite fumes in your bilge if they were present.
Bond-o, it has been a long time since i have had that starter out, and i dont recall clearly. I just remember that there was a step on the mount, on the starter. I am second guessing myself as to whether the step was on the inside, or the outside of the starter. Maybe it was on the outside. I do know that it was quite a common starter as my mechanic friend says he has seen many of them on automotive applications. Mark said he was going to post pics, so we'll see. I will check tonight when i get home, to be sure as i want to make sure i am contributing valid information.
