westerbeke W70 starter problem

[charly]

the engine is a westerbeke W70 and the starter motor a Westerbeke part nbr 31227 (not available anymore)

I try to buy the solenoid that fits this starter . In the Westerbeke parts list they show only the complete starter motor.
the solenoid that westerbeke sells: 23338 is not the right one I believe (about 6mm to long).
Q: what is the right solenoid for the Westerbeke starter motor 31227?

Would help a lot !!

Take your starter to a shop that repairs starters and alternators for trucks and cars. Westerbeke just used standard truck and commercial engine blocks and the starter is 95% certain one of these.
