Starter Saga (Conclusion?)

Olivier has a buddy who is a Yanmar "expert" and has rebuilt the starter. After popping it open to take a look.... I am lukewarm about long-term expectations.

He did replace a part.

There are various parts that are still greatly exceeding spec for "worn the hell out"

But, hey! it worked!! Twice!

I'm glad to see Olivier is also shopping for a new starter and plans to keep this one as a spare.

I can now R&R a Yanmar starter in about 5 minutes.Read more
