An auto starter will not meet CG specs, and could spark an explosion. There's a reason the marine starters cost more.

Here we go again.<br /><br />Catfish1--you might want to search this board for phrases "Marine parts, non-marine parts, and explosions." You will find some interesting reading.

Go to ebasicpower.com a marine parts dealer.<br />The correct marine starter is $139.00

2nd post - yes I know which auto engine <br />starter will work - but I will not tell you.<br /><br />I don't want to read about you, and the fire in the paper.

The same goes for the alternator as well.<br /><br />TMD

catfish1,<br />There are only a half a dozen different Chevy Starters......<br />There are the Straight bolt pattern,+ the staggered bolt pattern.... <br />For the Large, or Small Flywheels......<br />There are the Direct Drive starters(these are the starters you saw on your Daddy's car).... <br />These are split into Automotive + Marine... The difference being an added plate in the main housing of the Marine starters to Shield the Sparks..... <br />Then there are the newer Hi-torque, or Mini-Starters(these are the little japanese race car looking things, that are Really the way to Go)..... <br />In these starters the motor is Already sealed from the bendix drive, So, They Are In Fact Interchangable(auto or marine).......<br /><br />SOOO,huminski is Actually Right...... To a Point.... <br /> <br />In my NAPA book it shows your starter;<br />Reman......$205.00 list $126.49 jobber #18-5900<br />New........$250.05 list $155.82 jobber #18-5911<br />New MiniStarter..$236.34 list $150.64 jobber #18-5913<br />In the Jegs catalog they start at about $140. + Go Up from there.....<br /><br />If you "Sweet Talk" your NAPA guy, you Should be able to get down between the two prices I listed.....

Re: cross reference: omc140 starter

ok, but i'm wanting to get another "car" starter to rebuild this one with. the brush springs seem to be part of the outer cylinder, and two of the spring clips on my starter are broken off, thats why i want a car starter. the outer cylinder and brush assembly should be the same on car or marine applications.

Re: cross reference: omc140 starter

nevermind, a friend of mine stopped by with a car starter, i just finished putting the brushes & spring clips in and it works good now. thanks for the replies! <br /><br />ps. huminski, sorry i doubted you. i should have been more clear of my intentions.
