I am looking for a starter or even the make and serial #'s for the starter for my 1949 gray marine fireball 140 engine. Also ,can another more available starter for this engine be easily retrofitted? Thanks Todd C. |

Thanks Jim....I was told that the starter on my motor is a delco...but the #'s have been sand blasted off. Do you think the delco could have been retrofitted and thats why it is breaking the nose cone????? Thanks Todd C. |

The most common cause is the engine fireing backwards with the starter engaged.I have taken the parts and welded them back together,with the moter end off.They seem to work ok if done well. |

If the starter was converted from 6 to 12 volts it's the higher rpm and torque created by doubling the voltage that's causing the nose cone to break. |
