The univeral switch makes sense to me. My 1500D uses a separate switch for the thermostart, so a four-posititon switch would not be required, though.

Installed a universal switch on my 1500 last year and it works fine.

Sure, you could do that............
But why not put it back the way Yanmar intended it? I don't think there's much difference in price to have an actual Yanmar switch with the thermostart built in...............and they're easy to come by, just contact Hoye or any of the dealers who post here, I'll bet any of them can supply you with the right switch, and quickly.

Thermostart was an option on most "00" models as I understand it, and it is not uncommon to see 1500s without it, as well as 1500s with a pushbutton that activates the thermostart.
