Product Number: 18494N
The WAI 18494N is a brand-new 12V 0.8kW starter motor. It is built to the Hitachi PMDD design, cross-referenced directly against Hitachi original-equipment references including S114-413, S114-413A, and S114-650. It is engineered to replace the original Hitachi unit across eight Yanmar engine applications spanning the L-series range, making it a dependable like-for-like replacement for workshop and agricultural service.
As a permanent-magnet direct-drive (PMDD) unit, the 18494N delivers a clean, compact design with fewer moving parts than conventional wound-field starters, translating to reliable engagement and consistent cranking performance. The eight-tooth pinion and clockwise rotation match the original Hitachi specification precisely, ensuring correct mesh with the ring gear on every listed application.
With 18 cross-references in total — covering Hitachi, Yanmar, Sando, AD Kuhner, and DRI part numbers — this starter sits within a well-documented replacement network, making identification straightforward whether you are working from a Hitachi reference, a Yanmar OEM number, or a third-party catalogue.
