I got a Yamaha electric starter on eBay (new) but it doesn't show how to connect the electrical cables

I would think a sticky bush button momentarily on switch would be more likely to be the cause of the relay acting up.

And deal with those choices, there is a reason it is a fraction of the cost, e-bay seller isn't give a highly discounted price out of the goodness in their heart. Not saying it can't work, would not bet on longevity or reliability.

Agreed. If we are talking about a lesser quality part.

To me it depends upon the particular part(s) and its intended application. If a component of an electrical starting system fails on a motor that also has manual cranking capability (OP's configuration) that would not be the end of the world. I would choose the cheaper but perhaps less reliable part.

Yeah , you gotta be smart about it coz some of it is crap but if you are ....say going to cut and weld a spanner for one awkward access job then why chop up a snap on when the chinese one will do the job .....or bashing one size down socket over a munted bolt head .
