ill try to make this short and sweet lol.
i bought a 87 fourwinns with a mercruiser305 the starter had ground a notch in the flywheel upon further inspection i found water in the oil.
so i bough a mercruiser 350 and installed it in the boat with a new starter and a new flywheel i fired it up once last summer to check that the motor was good.
now i just got it out of storage and started it up and it started fine i tried it again and it just grinds against the flywheel. i changed the starter with just a normal car starter because i didnt want to buy a new starter if i didnt need to and i get the same just grinds away.
now if i pull the plugs out it will spin over just fine but it sounds terrible like the starter isnt meshing with the flywheel very good. i put the plugs back in and away she grinds again idk any thoughts any one
