Where is the best place to buy a marine starter for my 318. The one I have is toast.
Thanks Bill |

Bill, What's wrong with it? Have you had it to a "auto electric" shop if you can't figure it out yourself? Starters are pretty basic in that if the field and armature is OK then it usually is just a minor "tune up". This involves cleaning up the armature commutator (preferably on a lathe), undercutting the insulation between each commutator contact, installing new brushes and then new shaft bushings. Many will do it themselves. We can help if needed but first, why is it "toast"? ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

I took it to a repair shop...it has no tags or numbers on it for parts ordering. He told me it needed all new insides. I am all ears and do appreciate the help. |

Bill, Does the starter "turn over"? My first reaction is the shop you took it to isn't the greatest due to it missing "tags", they are lost!  "all new insides" - was he specific? Did he even get the VOM out and check the armature and field?------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

It did nothing but click when hooked to a battery. He did say it needed a new armature as this one is shorted out. He has done a whole lot of work for me in the past so I think he knows starters. I don't think he was comfortable With the fact it was marine and also for a rr motor. |

Bill,
It sounds like you are comfortable with this guy but you also mentioned he may br uncomfortable with the starter since it's marine and a RR. Are you sure it's a RR since many of the marinizations put the starter on the back side of the bell housing which reversed the cranking direction. I suggest another shop or just going back looking for a starter. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

The 318 starters are in the normal position and are RR. ------------- Gary http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=941" rel="nofollow - 1965 Barracuda SS |

Bill,
Looks like your best choice is Marysville. AR 50109 Used on LM318, M340, and M360 CCW/RH Inboard Engines & M383, M400, and M440 CW/LH Engines $245.95 Gary, I know where the starter is located on a marine 318 but really haven't had the opportunity to see where they put them on the automotive version!  ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Can read the tag that is in the picture? That might give me the numbers I need to order parts. Bill |

Bill,
These are the numbers off of my spare (not ready to part with) 318 RR starter. MDT-7001 6Y00904 1869297 - (2nd and 3rd digits are very hard to verify, someone hit the starter with a hammer or something) ------------- 1980 Ski Nautique 1966 Barracuda |
