What year is your Tolly? I remember you did quite a few upgrades to it. with the exception of the starter problem were youu able to take it out thispast weekend? or was it a dry run. it's kind of an antique...1977. *havent been out yet...need to replace starter. *so, hope to replace that, and get it moving in next few weeks I shouldn't say 'dry' run around here, because it seems that every weekend it's been raining and raining hard. I've only been able to make it to the lake once this year. sad, but true.... yeah it's h ard to find the time...plus it always seems to rain on weekends... Cool. If yo need a GM starter, the newer gear reduction permanent magnent types are the way to go. If you'd like for me to get you one for your boat engine[s], let me know. My cost on a new ( and I mean BRAND NEW) *starter with bolt kit is less than $60.00. What do they go for retail, or so called discounted? The beauty of them is they draw less current. The downside is, I've heard that if they get wet they're junk. Is that true.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - As far as pricing goes, If you go to NAPA they have a 'remanufactured" for $125 USD plus core, and if you don't have the right core, they hit you for another $40.00 core charge. They cost me about 58.00 plus shipping I normally retail them for 95.00 Sure mine are made in china, and sure so are the parts, but there's not much I can do about that, and some people might crab about that, but then again, the origional Delco/ Delphi wasn't made here either. They're made in Portugal or Korea. I tell people that there's only two kinds of parts in this industry. "Cheap chinese parts" OR "cheaper chinese parts" Honestly, there's very little domestic manufacturing in this industry, and believe me, if I I had to pay more for it I'd use domestic , the problem is,it's just not here. And what's sadder is that it probaly won't be either. |
