I think YM155 has the tiny alternator that's behind the fan hub. Only 15 amp.
FWIW the Thermostart portion of the video starts at the 4 minute point.FWIW: Here is a Thermostart diagnosis, disassembly, and replacement. (On a slightly larger machine...)
All the best, Peter
About $9 on Amazon if ordering the Ford 1000 Series tractor types. It's the same product. We pay a tad bit more for the Yanmar name, even in the aftermarket circles. I've already replaced mine last year with the Ford identical version.FWIW the Thermostart portion of the video starts at the 4 minute point.
Slide-on vs screw electric connector is the only difference between versions and most will take either. They are cheap to replace. I see several under $15 on Ebay.
Great! Amazon is the best source then.About $9 on Amazon if ordering the Ford 1000 Series tractor types. It's the same product. We pay a tad bit more for the Yanmar name, even in the aftermarket circles. I've already replaced mine last year with the Ford identical version.
Ford calls it a Thermo-start air-intake heater or manifold heater.Great! Amazon is the best source then.
Before posting I searched Amazon on 'Thermostart' and nothing at all was found. So I went to Ebay.
It was/is also used on the Perkins diesels in MF, and many other tractors and industrial engines. The device is a Perkins patent.
What does Ford call it?
Photo after I bought a new one at the local ThermoKing (reefer on semitrailer) dealer.
I see you searched on 'C5NE9A436A'. The Ford #.I think they have gone up. Amazon.com : C5NE9A436A
