🔌 Function

The starter turns the small-outboard flywheel through the 10-tooth pinion until the engine starts. Correct direction and pinion geometry are essential because similar-looking starters are available with different tooth counts.

Common signs of failure:

• Starter solenoid clicks without motor rotation

• Slow cranking or excessive battery-cable heating

• Pinion fails to rise or engage the flywheel

• Grinding from incorrect tooth count or worn flywheel teeth

• Intermittent operation from worn brushes or internal corrosion

• Overheating, burnt windings or loose internal bushings

📦 Condition

• Brand-new aftermarket replacement starter motor

• New and unused

• Supplied in suitable manufacturer or equivalent protective packaging
