Question on Mercruiser 350 MPI

Entourage · #1 05-30-2009, 09:03 PM

Started my sceptre for the first time this week, after it had been sitting all winter. When i go to crank it over i just get a wining sound like the starter is not engaging to the fly wheel. What could i do to solve this prob without taking out the starter? because it is a a pain in the A--.Any help with this issue would greatly be appreciated.

if you have any room try tapping with a hammer it may be just enough

Find someone skinny and double jointed. There is an inspection window in the Bendix. Try to pry the gear forward against the spring a few times. Shoot it first w/ some penetrating oil.
