1979 omc (140) 400 series I/O motor starter motor removal. I am trying to remove the starter motor for repair. I can access the one bolt on the star board (open) side, plus the rear support bracket that attaches to the end cap thruogh bolt. The starter however is still solidly attached and won't pull back from the housing. I have the repair manual but it does not show the configuration of the attaching bolts. I cannot access the port side of the starter motor as it is up against the motor, and I can't get underneath the motor to see if there is any other bolt on the port side (short of lifting the entire motor from the boat). Can someone advise me of the attaching bolt configuration for the starter motor and how I can remove it? Any suggestions appreciated. nab1
