I had to start a new thread or I would have used the old thread but someone deleted it so sorry for having to start a new one for the issue that I am having. Again if my old post were still here everyone would know my history of my boat but I will keep this short. I converted my 25' glasstream eagle from outboard to stern drive and I know your not supposed to use an automotive starter on a marine engine because of enclosure and fumes could ignite and boat be a bomb. I bought an automotive starter because it was cheaper and I needed to see if the engine would run. I shimmed the starter every which way possible and the bendix throws out fine its just not making contact with the flywheel. Like I said I shimmed it every which way and Im at a loss of what could be wrong or not causing the bendix to make contact. I have been trying to sale my boat and have had zero luck so I am in the quite of a pickle to just get it going so then I can sale it. Anyone know what the problem might be so I can get this beast on the water. Thank you very much.
Oh I put a chevy '87 305 and converted it marine use with a marine crank and cam.
