Hi!
I have a 1994 Mariner 40 (0G082938, 2-cyl) and have starter issues since winter storage.
The starter spins ok, but the bendix runs up to the flywheel and engages, but doesn't lock. The starter axel keeps spinning and after a few seconds the bendix lowers down again.
Can this happen when the battery is bad (haven't charged it since I took up the boat)?
How is the "locking" of the bendix to the starter axel supposed to work? Friction/centrifugal force?
Thanks for any help...
