Starting motor, Force 70 hp
Any help would be welcome. 70 hp force. Starter sometimes starts
motor but only if it starts in a couple seconds. Otherwise the starter
shaft spins and the pinion ingages the flywheel but does not spin with
the starter motor shaft. The battery checks out fine and all
connections are clean and tight. I'm sure someone has had this problem
and can tell me what's wrong. Thanks |

| If what your saying is the gear engages, but the starter motor keeps
spinning but won't turn the flywheel? If thats the case then the pinion clutch (bendix) is bad. it's an easy
replacement and the "bendix" isn't an expensive item. billbr@comcast.net wrote: |

| Sounds like the bendix. Or you're misreading a sneeze that kicks the pinion
out. -W "billbr@comcast.net" <Brandy.Kerns@gmail.com> wrote in message |

| I had the same thing happen on a 76' 115 Merc. The cog separated from
the screw shaft. I JB welded it until the new one came which was good
enough for the rest of my maintenance tasks. |
