I just received my motor, looks cosmetically to be in great shape. Though there are a couple of things that need to be changed out or possibly fixed. I'm no mechanic though so if anyone here is inclined to take a quick look I'll post pictures I snapped of it.

The switch on the electric start is disintegrating. Each time I depress it, material flakes off. I'm not sure if I can just replace the button cover or if i have to replace more of the overall electric start assembly. Any part numbers are appreciated, I couldn't find one for it:

There is also a component on the engine (don't know what it is) that has frayed ends on the wire. Should I have this repaired or is it a non-issue?

At any rate, let me know what you guys think of the motor. It was supposedly entirely rebuilt after some kids ran it "dry" (presumably I guess the mech meant of oil) while it was still on a Mercury Water Mouse. As of now, I am 90% sure it's going on a Zodiac Cadet 350 once the temperatures warm back up in a month or two.
