not sure what is going on here, my bendix got stuck on sunday and i pulled the flywheel to investigate. The bendix was broken on the inside the little piece came out from the center of the bendix.
Replaced in the past 6 weeks:
2 woodruff keys, one from backfire, second from the chitty msd flywheel
bendix
stator - noticed a nick in the coil, sent off the JSS
I also noticed a good deal of oily residue inside the crankcase area where the stator resides each time i opened it up. the motor is not even two seasons old ~100 hours most likely much less. Should i just replace the seals or is there a way to leakdown test to see if the seal is bad?
I was told i need to "lap" my crank snout after the two woodruff keys sheared. Can someone please explain how to do this? or what type of shop to take it to?
I put on a used bendix last night, rode for about 8 minutes. Went to jump on the hood for a hood ride and it died before i could hit the throttle. I rolled off the ski and tried to start it. THe bendix would engage for only a split second the just whur around and not engage. This was repeatable even after we got it out of the water. Second replacement bendix should be here later today.
Am i just missing a bigger issue here? Getting so sick of dealing with this that i just want to drop in a used 701.
thanks!
