Good morning gentleman,
Near the end of my trip last week to one of our lakes, the starter got stuck and would not engage the flywheel. I used a screwdriver and the starter shaft popped up and engaged. I noticed the shaft was very very dry. Once I shut the motor down the shaft got stuck again. I tapped down on the shaft sprocket and sprayed wd40 on the shaft. The starter worked fine the rest of the trip.
Question: Could this of been the "fix" or the beginning of needing a new starter down the road?
Ty, Dave
