Fairly easy to install
August 20, 2021|Ad's G, Williston, FL

After removing the cowl off the engine it was a little bit of a challenge to remove the starter due to the placement of the starbit bolts but that was it. Always remember to ohm out your solenoid first. That may save you money and time. Sigh.

Worked perfectly and easy to install
April 22, 2021|Sometimeidiot, Gainesville Fl

It was relatively easy to install. The only problem was keeping washers in place on the mounting bolts on the backside of the mounting plate. I just used some tape that I had for wrapping presents. Worked perfectly. Took about 5 minutes in total time.
