After about 1750 hr of diesel run-time, the starter on my 1999 3JH3E remained engaged on the last start up and regrettably, for me, was not caught in time to prevent the starter from "burning up." Does anyone know-- is this something that happens often in Yanmar diesels near that number of hours? What are the known, or possible, causes? What are possible "collateral" damages? The starter unit is a starter-solenoid combination. The ignition switch will also be replaced. What else should be inspected or replaced?
