LOL (again). Which Ex as there were a couple…?
As to that cloud, it’s DARK, not black!
Sorry, just had to prime the pump so to say.
Hopefully all the parts will be here by Friday night and I can drive the 70+ miles to where the boat and motor is to see if I can fix it on Saturday - and that I can obtain some assistance then report back here. In the service manual I also noted that I will need a torque wrench and even some Lock-Tite or equivalent, so I better get cracking on that as well.
I actually have changed a starter in my life but that was early 1980 on a 1975 Chevy Van, which is a lot easier to work on than these new motors and vehicles. But I’ll take my time.or, at least try to!
Thank you all for your input, thoughts and prayers, as I need them.
