Re: Starter repair
Well, I think I have found a replacement Bendix. I'm going to the parts store later. Replacement Bendix-$8; Replacement starter-$120. Budget boating is a hard life. There are items you shouldn't skimp on, but there are times when used and repair instead of replace works. Took the starter apart easily, got the bendix out easily, windings and brushes look good. Found the problem with my starter, the bendix has a roller grip clutch, same priciple as the height adjust cord on blinds, the housing came apart and the rollers fell out. Teeth on flywheel look good.
