I reckon 1980-81 Does it have 2 blue bands and silver "Mercury" text ?<br /> http://www.dougrussell.com/partscatalog/images/MERMAR/74962/43.gif <br />This chart lines up European-USA No's and it lines up here with a HIGHER number than the one that lines up with USA 5193258 (1979)<br /> http://www.marineparts.com/partspages/techhelp/TECH15.HTM

Hi Unicorn, Yes it has two bands , one lighter than the other with white text. On the Starter there is an inscription 08-14-79 which I think is its manufacturing date. Thus 1980 should be close. Thanks for the help.
