The starter is a metal cylinder about 3 inches in diameter and 5 to 7 inches long. It is secured to the engine with three bolts and has a small wiring harness coming from the rear.

Follow the thick red cable running from the positive side of your battery and under the engine. The starter is connected to the other end.
