I’ve got a Wamiltons ported 701, MSD, stock flywheel, stock stator. After doing some subs and nose stabs, I shut the ski off. It wouldn’t start again because the bendix now catches the flywheel after a bit of cranking. I replaced my brass bushing in the case, tried 2 different (working) bendix, changed the spring in the front case, added an extra washer, and it still won’t stay running. It’ll fire and then make a terrible clunking noise coming from the flywheel cover. I’ve cranked the ski while putting pressure on the stout of the bendix. The bendix engages the flywheel, retracts, and then bounces back into the flywheel. I feel like I’ve done everything possible, so here I am.
Yes, I do have the washer in the rear of the bendix. I’ve tried different washers there too to no avail.
Any advice is appreciated.
