Hi all, here down under it is mid summer and no time to have an engine blow up. I have a 98 Johnson 150 Ficht 150FSXECR and last weekend drove 3 hours to a brilliant cruising area, started the engine with a bang. I took off the top cover and found the plastic flywheel housing had disintegrated, the starter pinion nearly went into orbit and broke 2 gears. Then we drove back home. As the whole of Australia is on holidays enjoying their boating time I am struggling to get my problem solved. Thanks to the internet I have found one gear and the housing (from the USA thank you) but I am unable to source the small gear which sits on the starter motor, part number 342881. Anyone able to help?
Thanks in anticipation,
David
