07158606 But the Merc website states this is obsolete and is updated to XXXXXXXXX and the old # XXX the starter was 72467

I had the starter apart yesterday, the brushes looked ok and I cleaned the armature with a fine emory cloth. The one spot that looked suspicious was the terma

I had the starter apart yesterday and the only part that looked suspicious was the terminal where the power comes in from the solinoid and two brushes attach. This seemed to have been fused from high heat and this is the cable which would get very hot in short order when the ignition was activated. When I put the starter back on and turned the ignition there was only a click and almost immediate smoke arising so I immediately turned off the key

I had the starter off yesterday and when taken apart the suspicious area was the terminal bolt which comes from the solinoid (yellow cable) this had evidence of high heat on the inside and is also where two brushes are connected on the inside. The bolt head on the inside appeared to be fused to the brush connections. Would this appear to have been caused from a malfunction from the interior of the starter or from a malfuntion of the solinoid. The solinoid appears to kick in ok but then smoke will rise from the cable to the starter

I Need to have more information and can't get through ---- This is not acceptable
