Help!
Thought the starter died in the water yesterday... Turn the key and all I get is a spinning sound - bendix not engaging, so I think.
After a tow back to the marina, purchase a reman starter... Put it in this morning and same thing... just a spinning sound from the starter.
So, I pulled the new (reman) starter and checked and all the teeth on the flywheel (at least in the area that I could see and where the starter would contact) were okay.
Could the reman starter be bad? Did notice on the the original starter that the gears were all the way back into the housing and I could not get them to move outward. The reman starter gears are pushed forward a little and move in and out when I spin it with a screwdriver.
Thanks!
John
