    Powerhead going on tomorrow guys its the soonest my cousin could help, not sure about the starter when that will be ready trying to find a local shop with die grinder bits for the inside of the starter motor also low on argon 600psi left in cylinder plus car broke down and rego is due so a little low on cash, no work on boat yet due to low on funds but should be sorted in a week or two than i'll get crankin on boat again once i can get another 24litres of resin and need to order a fair bit of fumed silica

    here's a picture of the penetration on that starter

    Have you tried the wreckers for a second hand starter?

    If you manage to get the starter working, it will probably be OK for the interim to get the test motor, but i would consider a proper replacement down the track for reliability !

    I have only looked on Ebay there are second hand starters but i would rather use mine if i have to go second hand, new aftermarket are $290 $300 but those are a 3 week wait and i don't have the cash yet, i would suspect a local wreckers would want a fair amount for a starter

    yeah it will be replaced i mostly want it fixed now to do the compression test on the new powerhead

    I'll grab this one when i have the cash https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/12V-O-B-...0AAOSwXq5ccCUN

    new or second hand out of the US both cost close to $300

    so far to repair this starter i am in it about 1 hours work but with the fluffing around with welders i am in it a few hours at lease

    Hey guys taking a bit longer than expected to swap over the powerhead the other day i grabbed the air hose out of the shed leading to the air compressor and the PVC hose snapped in 3 locations and was to short to bodge to reach the outboard than i had a major crap fight with the hose fitting it was just a frustrating time compressor was playing up i only today got the compressor and hose sorted so now i can vacuum blast out the broken engine pieces from the sump, my cousin has been a little busy too he was planning on coming over sat than sun but no availability understandable when u have 8 kids

    i did have a chance to use the compressor before the hose snapped i picked up a Ryobi pneumatic air die grinder and had a whizz at the starter worked great but not the prettiest thing because i welded from the outside to the inside it looks like shit i can do a final weld and touch it up but i think it will do as is its only for a compression test and possible initial starting of the engine

    still need to weld the other side and die grind it back too so more pics... will try get everything organised to do the powerhead as soon as i can i know it is dragging out but nothing is panning out

    strangely enough there wasanother guy online seeing my starter motor rebuild and said he may have a starter to fit but needed both my leg and powerhead serial number why on earth are they following me around the internet? every tom, dick and harry wants my serial numbers its really pissing me off

    Steve i'll say this bluntly

    You have the option to post or not to post, if u canot post anything constructivly or positive than why even post? Is it to hear your own thoughts is it so you can beat your chest?

    you ask why do people target you ,i replied
    you selectively respond to peoples replies and only pick the negatives

    no one wants to hear about the personal stuff they want to see your boat built and get finished
