Primer Solenoid issue

[chrisrub]

I just ordered an Arco starter from eBay that I ended up not needing and I can't return it. It was used to crank an engine over a few times, other than that it is brand new. I got a great deal and only paid $68 plus shipping for it, i'll give it to you for $60 including shipping.

This is the part number

Evinrude/Johnson Arco Starter Part No. 5372
The ad said it Replaces 385529 389954 585051 585057 586283

Research it and let me know if it would work for you.

Sounds like you are going to need a new starter if your battery checks out. I had a similar issue where the starter just wouldn't spin up fast enough to engage the flywheel. Well after replacing the battery and not solving the problem I pulled the starter and a mechanic bench tested it. Was spinning but the brushes were so worn that it just didn't have enough umph to get up and going. New starter and she was running like a champ.
