Re: 1979 150HP Starter Question

When the engine starts, the sudden movement of the flywheel kicks the bendix gear out of the flywheel teeth.

If the engine makes no attempt to start, the bendix gear usually stays engaged in the flywheel teeth.

If the bendix gear stays engaged while the engine is running, either the gear is jammed in the teeth or the starter solenoid is stuck resulting in keeping the electric starter engaged.
