Which starter repair kit?

[Alby1]

I have a 1984 Mercury 50. The brushes went out of the starter, due to water getting in somehow. The starter is a Mercury Marine # 50-73521. I tried to find the repair kit here on iboats.com but got confused when I seen the part that looks like mine but, it said Arco repair kit and there are two of them. I read somewhere that Arco repair kits won't work on the starter I have. I want to get the repair kit that has the brushes and the end bell. Can anyone tell me what kit will work or where to find one? Thanks Much

OK, went there and all they show is a brush kit , no end bell. It also says the kit is for a MERCURY MARINE 75384, not a 73521, and there was no other listings. Still stuck.

Go here first and ck the intechange your started is a 5379--http://www.arcomarine.com/xhtml/Cross%20Reference%20Outboard%20Starters%201.html
take that number and go here--http://www.arcomarine.com/xhtml/Outboard%20and%20PWC%20Marine%20Starters.pdf

OK, I followed your instructions, and thank you. Also,I went the direct route and called ARCO to find out if the story I read about ARCO products not working with Mercury Marine starters and they said that all there parts are manufctured to OEM spec's. Thanks for all your help, I'm a little more educatated today.
