Hey guys,
this is my first post on here. I'm glad that i came across this forum.
I have a '93 Johnson 140 and i am having an occasional problem of the pinion (bendix Gear) on my starter not engaging the flywheel.
For the most part the boat starts just fine but sometimes (usually when hot) the starter turns but the gear won't push in.
so far every time it has happened i have banged the side of the starter with a peice of 2x4 and she fires right up.
i am assuming that there is a solenoid in there that is starting to go but i haven't actually tried to disassemble the thing yet.
does anyone else have any insight on a starter from this vintage?
thanks,
spencer
