    Starter help....

    I have a 1984 Johnson 50 and my starter kicked the bucket.

    Anyone have any tips on how to get a new one, or my old one fixed at a reasonable price?
    I was told $200 or more for a new one, but was hoping I could stumble onto a better deal than that.

    Thank you!

    [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Mar-29-06 AT 05:56PM (EST)[/font][p]Not sure where you live, but there is a guy on Mud Lane off Preston Highway that rebuilds starts. I am not sure the name of the business, it is about a half mile to 1 mile on the right once you get past the kroger. I will see if I can fine the name or address.

    or

    You could try Koger Marine if you wanted a good used starter at a bargain price. They might also have a rebuilt one. I got one for my 74 40hp Johnson for 50.00. They are near Lake Cumberland and the phone no. is 606-348-0164. Ask for Rick.

    Thank you all for responding. That was certainly a big help.
    I will start to call around to these businesses and see what can be arranged.

    I like this board!
