Mariner 60 HP 2 stroke Solenoid Replacement

[Bigplumbs]

Well after 30 years the Starter solenoid decided to fail on my trusty old Mariner. It is an easy job to replace. Just ember to switch of the power and make sure you know where all the wires go. There are far more than just the wires for the solenoid connected to the big positive.

I was lucky that this gave me a couple of clues when in use before it finally died. I surpose this is a part you could carry as it is easy to replace and is a real bad day if it fails at the wrong time and place . Little video below for those that are interested. Yes this is an old engine but I love it

You should carry a circlip off the starter motor that will pop next.

I assume you mean a bit that goes on the top of the Bendix ?
