88S is from 91, should be equipped with factory electric start. what parts did your order that didnt fit?

i have a yamaha factory page that has vins from 1980-2000. wish i had one for pre-80, most the 01-05 2 stroke sleds are in my head. i have not been able to find anything on line.

your hood may start with ss, but your vin wont. i am compiling a list of pre 80 sleds, and yours may be on there. check it and post it.
