My flywheel has worn teeth (in four spots 90 deg apart on ring gear corresponding to where the engine has stopped over the last 18 yrs) and the starter pinion will not engage. I cannot seem to find any good source for the part as this item is listed as "obsolete" and is not being offered by the manufacturer part diagrams. My questions are:
1. Has anyone found a source for just the ring gear? I could take to a machine shop, heat the gear and the old one will fall off and a new one installed just like a car part?
2. Can a Merc 115-2St be used as a replacement?
3. What is the range of model years for the same part so I can expand my search?
4. Are any other engines using the same part in the model year range?
2. Any good sources for replacement flywheel for this engine?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
