Merc 9o hp, the battery is fully charged and connections all good. The starter spins quick, throws the bendix up to flywheel and engine starts, then when bendix returns to bottom it sticks there-needs to be pried with screwdriver before it is 'free' and can be moved by hand upwards. It will remain down if starter is spunn, stuck in position. Is there a bushing or some 'user servicable' part the bendix is sticking to in the down position....maybe gunk? I lightly oiled it, didn't help.
Should I remove starter, clean everything?....or maybe apply degreaser with starter on engine?
