95 Gtx Starter running but doesn't kick

[Underwater78]

Hello again, the seadoo just doesnt want to start, i can hear my starter spinning but barely makes the drive shaft move, sometimes just kicks for couple seconds and nothing, sound like is not connection between them. And i dont have spark either, put new spark plugs and already did the cutting on the cables and check for the ground on the ignition coil, unplug blk/red wires from mpem, full charge new battery with new cables, im 90% sure the my ignition coil give up, did all the testing and nothing, before i get a new one can this be the problem for my starter not working right with the drive shaft or is something else besides that, i have compression when i pull out the plugs but not able to move the shaft just 1 inch, any help before give up and call the technician. Thanks.

Sure sounds like a bad battery....with the plugs out does it spin over easy by hand?

I had the same issue. I rebuilt the starter and never had anymore problems. It's not to difficult to pull, I would recommend removing it and checking it. A rebuild kit is fairly cheap and simple.

I maybe have misread what you were saying...does it spin the starter, but not engage? That would be the bendix.

 

[Underwater78]

Yeah it spin the starter but not engage, sometimes try but nothing, just cranks, i guess i need to rebuilt the starter.

 

[Underwater78]

Thanks i would look into that and see if i can rebuilt the starter.

Do the bendix is hard to replace?

Its more likely to be fully deteriorated internally. Faily cheap to replace.

Theres prob water in the housing and it rusted the bendix (which is connected to the starter)...take it out and see what you got.
