Hello,
Wondering if I could get some help on an issue I am having with my ski.
I operate in brackish water and the starter nose/bendix assembly are evidently getting wet while the ski is being ridden. Once the ski sits for a day or so, the starter will spin, but the bendix will not move outward and engage the flywheel. Whe the starter is removed, a lot of rust is evident on the mainshaft of the starter and it looks like there must be water getting into the flywheel area.
The oring on the starter is perfect, so I feel the water is coming in from another source.
Anyone know if there is a seal or gasket that may have failed and could be causing the issue I'm having?
Tony
