It was a new one from the auto parts store but it might have been a 'rebuilt new one' (sorry the answer isn't clear). Anyways, it worked flawlessly for 7 months until it started not firing up every time starting about a week ago. thanks for your ideas........Eltom

Will I be able to get battery cables at the local parts store??

Ok I have a 96 LX 450 With 173K that got a new starter like 4K ago and now it seems to be dying already. When I say seems to be dying, I mean I turn the ignition and nothing happens. Then I turn it again a few seconds later and it fires right up and other times it doesn't and still other times it takes 10 tries or it just starts right up w/no problems. The battery is registering good juice and the lights etc are all ok. Whats up? Could this starter already be fried? I replaced the 2.0 KW starter with a 1.4KW because thats what they had in stock but besides sounding a bit whimpier, I don't think this would cause it to die an early death. Any ideas or should I just throw a new starter in there?????
