Starter

[Coppifan]

Looks like the starter has finally gone up on my Volvo Penta 23 HP. Hull #270.  I imagine new ones are not available. Can they be rebuilt? Where do I look? Any idea what this is going to cost?

These can be rebuilt for about $115. I used Ace Armature In Providence, RI  Rebuild shops are everywhere. They will do with marine specs and components
