Re: Defective electric starter motor or switch?

Hey Trouts2,
 Just today I decided to tear my snowthrower start switch apart since it failed during our last heavy snow up here in Alaska.  After searching on-line for just the switch unit unsuccessfully, I pried the thing apart and discovered the malfunctioning Cherry switch.  Then I googled the part number and came up with your posting.  A little digging and I found that Cherry appears to still make the switch.  It's part number is E-13-00E.  From looking at the specs and measurements it appears to be *approximately* the same switch.  It has one extra spade connector which you can just ignore for the purpose of the snowthrower switch assembly.  Sure beats everything else I found on-line (nothing but the entire kit including motor).  I just ordered a switch from www.alliedelec.com .  Their part number for the switch is 908-1435.  The cost?  A whopping $2.74.  You may want to grab a few as it seems like that is a common failure point on these machines.  You can see the whole spec sheet here:  http://www.cherrycorp.com/english/switches/general/e_sp.htm

Good luck,

Alaska Steve
