The current starter is too oxidized to get a serial number. The only thing I can see is a Ford part number for the drive end housing of EIJP-11131-AA. The engine is a 1979 OMC/FORD 351 CID with a part number of 909251. Any help would be appreciated.
Not so sure that is possble. The thing sat in salt water for a little while. Even the rubber parts are coated in rust! The casing is junk. It was going to take it apart to see if I could clean it out or just change the bushings but did not get past removing the lever plunger cover before I realized that it was all wasted.
Hello<br /> in the ARCO electrics book there is a diagram as to telling the rotation of the starter by the slant of the leading edge of the pinion teeth. I dont have my manual here but a call to ARCO should solve your problems.<br /> good luck and keep posting.
Thanks everyone. This is good info. I need to give the engine a tune-up anyway so I will spin the flywheel when I have the plugs out and see which direction the causes the prop spins in forward while in forward gear. If that fails, I am calling Arco!
