We are in Gabon West africa and have a 1 year old 90hp 2 stroke mercury outboard- the starter bendix engages but then stops spinning as it would appear that there is a clutch/bushing of some form as the drive nut comes off the top of the worm gear( into the back of the bendix gear) to allow the starter to spin free of the bendix gear- it will take several weeks to obtain a spare in our location and cost over $600US can this bendix clutch / bushing be removed or repaired in the bendix - is it opossible to weld the nut that runs on the worm gear to the actual gear so that it will still drive the flywheel and disengage as required when running?? any advise would be great- Rob in Gabon
