OBXXXXXX is a 1988 series number. This should be a 2.4 liter the same as the first year Xr4 series.

thnx Faz 4 the help. I'm trying to see if I need a new starter cause it doesn't hit every time a crank it, it's kinda hit and miss and when it wants 2. But it does start fine when I get it going.

Fazt is assuming you mean the starter spins but doesn't engage.

If it engages, cranks, and doesn't fire, check starter voltage and current when cranking.

Failure mode is often carbon brush debris piling up in the end till it partially shorts the starter. It's a sleeper. I bought an expensive battery at a marina, probably giving them a better battery once because when this was the fault I was convinced it was the battery.
