Good afternoon,
I have a 1991 Caravelle Interceptor with a 351 OMC Cobra 5.8L. The starter began chewing up the ring gear on the flywheel so I bought a new starter and ring gear. While doing some research the old style 9 tooth CW starter seems to be obsolete, so I bought one that states it will work for my year motor.
It is a 10 tooth CW rotation, but it has a solenoid mounted on the outside of the starter with a black wire attached. The old starter only had the "red" power wire coming from the starter assist solenoid.
Two questions:
1) What is the black wire for and where does it attach.
2) Will the 10 tooth vs 9 tooth make a difference?
Thank you for your help.
