My MB24 has an old Yanmar YSM8 engine (single cylinder, 5HP, mid-1980s I think) and the starter motor has died. My auto electrician can't find a non-genuine one that matches and Yanmar here in Fremantle tell me there a couple left in Japan at over $1,300 each, plus freight I guess.
Anyone know any Yanmar wreckers or anyone else who may have one? I bet there are a few of these old engines laying in sheds around the place, just have to find them.
Cheers
