    Evinrude 1993 90 HP starter bendix spring

    Starter just spins and does not engage with flywheel. I applied WD40 but it is still frozen (won't lift up). Tried to remove the starter to replace the whole thing but starter top upper bolt interferes with carb/air intake. Terrible design. Any suggestions?
