YM2200 Starter Problem

[danny76]

My Yanmar 2200 will crank while trying to start and then the starter will slow down then begin to smoke. It will not start up and I since then havnt used it. The light colored smoke will come from the top of the starter basically around the section I think is the stater solenoid thing. Do yall think it is the starter burning out or the solenoid that is built on the starter? Can I take it to a Autozone or autopart store to have them check it? I wasnt sure if they can test these type of yanmar starters. I am hoping its not the starter since the cost is high on these things. Any help will be appreciated ..Thanks

I am no auto electric guy, but Autozone, etc should be able to test it. Find an auto electric repair place and have them rebuild it. I had a starter for an Iseki tractor rebuilt and it was all of $28.

Don't you just hate when something goes wrong with your tractor? However, any competent auto electric place can rebuild it. It is easy to get to too, you do not have to lie down and work with your arms twisted up around the chasis.

Have fun,

My starter went bad in just about the same way. When inspected by a good rebuild shop, they found that fuel (from leaking hoses above) had worked its way into the electrical wiring and solinoid (sp?) area. A complete cleaning and rebuild with a new brushes & solinoid cost me about $75. Two local rebuild shops could not identify the solinoid and passed on the rebuild. Ask questions when you take it in.

I had my 2000 start rebuilt for 45$. so check around.
