The cowl design is different, but from what I've read the power head is the same. Mine already has the geared ring on the flywheel for electric start, which is a big plus...Originally Posted by TheGrandPoohBah
This is how it was when I bought it for $100.00. I took it to a Mechanic and it needed coils, Plug wires, Points, Condenser, Fuel Lines, and a Fuel Filter. All in all, less than $600.00 including the initial cost of the motor And she runs. I was asking about the solenoid for when I get the complete starter kit together. I just recently bought a MOB kill switch as I'll be on the boat mostly by myself. Thought that was a good idea. When I change out that switch I am hoping I can use the present kill switch for the starter button as they are both momentary switches. I'll have to look at it and see...
I also got in some solid end water tight rives in the mail so I can get the deck supports mounted to the hull. Then see about some more aluminum for framing and a sheet of plywood, Sealed with some epoxy before covering. Still a ways to go but I'm hoping to get it on the water this year. This corona mess has put a damper on a whole lot. That's it for now...Thanks for the info everyone. Tight lines and full livewells...

Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
I was about 15 when we got ours, (my cousin and I).
I was so anxious to use it. My cousin already had it on the boat all I had to do was prime the tank and I was off to the races.
I found out later he filled the tank but didnt put oil in it. Thats when we set the rule, never fill a tank and not mix the oil -EVER!
Amazingly I didnt seem to harm the engine??

If you lived closer I would rebuild that solenoid for you.

It would work, a relay is a relay, they all work the same, but the mounting points may be the same.
On an outboard where space is at a minimum, I'd just get the OEM replacement. The engine block is grounded too, don't exactly want those big hot wires dangling around in there.

My question is why don’t you get the solenoid from the guy your getting your used parts from that is already attached to the starter if he is taking everything off old motor.

Not to beat a dead horse or such, but maybe look around "Under the cowl" for an ideal location that works best for you, then find one that "Fits the bill" at the time, like this feller did...
