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

    The OEM's will certainly agree with you as to that advice. If a guy does not need 100% quality, when 50% quality works for him, why spend the money?

    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...

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

    But when a non OEM product is 80% as good as the OEM product, but a quarter of the price, it might make sense to go non OEM.

    The starter relay has a power circuit and a control circuit. Battery positive power is provided directly to one side of the power circuit. See the diagram above. When the starter button is pressed, battery power is provided to the relay control circuit via the neutral safety switch. This...

    No solenoid used on that starter motor. A starter motor relay provides battery power to the starter motor.
