YES! Today I put the starter back on the Yamaha with the new solenoid found by Tim after searching
and trying several different solenoids. Yamaha wanted about $570 for a new solenoid, or about $690
for a complete starter assembly. Tim found a solenoid for the Hitachi starter which ran about $21.
Wow!

Tim, thank you.


Damn! That's a bargain! When did your warranty expire?

The warranty hasn't expired. The damage to the original solenoid was due to operator error.
