starts happening.


BTW, you say people are switching to Mallory? Mallory what? Mallory
doesn't make a starter.


I hope he knows that you know a *lot* about starters and other
electric motors.


Maybe he'll consider this fair warning.

Well, after almost 30 years of working on them daily , I would hope to
think I've learned something.

But I'm always open for suggestions...

Well, maybe, maybe no:

Certainly is a dangerous position. A few weeks ago, a poster here
claimed that Husqvarna "never made" the lawn/garden tractor model I own..
* He insisted. He was certain.


He was...wrong.


Harry, that starter is made in china *and sold though various
suppliers, *all it is , is *marketed through Mallory.


LOL. now THIS crack's me up!

look at the prices and how much you "save" on these Mariner
starters.

I just got a guy a starter which was no name but was identical to his
O.E. starter for his 25 hp mariner brand new for $120.00 and I made
some profit on the deal.

internet shopping isn't always the best way to go....

Do you expect us to believe that there is any chance in the world that
you might know more about starters than Harold?

Mallory advertises that they are suppliers to OEMs (Including
Mercury). Could it be that the subject starter is actually a Chinese
knock-off?



What difference does it make? Lots of manufacturers contract out the
building of their products and then label them as their own. Who makes
Evinrude? Not Evinrude. The brand name is just an asset bought on the
cheap.

Somehow, this discussion seems to be migrating toward who badged the
item rather than how we can buy quality. The OP references Edwards
Deming....


These days, there's lots of badging, some good, some bad, some just
average. For most replacement automotive pieces and parts, a big brand
name isn't a great assurance.
