Thank you very helpful. Found my solenoid is bad, and they show a replacement part (dang pricey to boot) all I can see in their picture is the bracket side.
1st post, thank you for your help. Just acquired a 40HP Mariner and in my search for a service manual looking like I need one for a Yamaha but not sure. Tag has 40EL
6E9 L, serial is 423291, with Japan on tag too. When looking for manual every search calls for 7 or 8 digit SN. Can someone link...
