Well, just bought this ski about 2-3 weeks ago and its given me a few problems that I've already fixed. Oh yea, its a 91 superjet, all stock, except a primer kit.
Anyways, it didnt do this when I bought it, but for the past week, its been making a sound like a whiney dog when you start it. I know its bendix related, because one time even just the starter only spun, but its very rare. Occasionally it will turn over without making this sound, but most often it kinda screeches. It runs fine after starting, has all its power, compression, etc. But sometimes it turns over slower and I think its getting worse.
My question is, due to the nature, do you think it could be the bendix gear to the starter? Im not sure if this has ever broken, I know the bendix to flywheel is common for a problem of starting, but the motor 99 percent of the time will turn over, it just makes a horrible sound and is hard on the motor.
Is there any chance its not bendix related? Im sure it is. I guess Im in the market for a new bendix. So if anyone has a yamaha OEM one that works, PM me, I'll probably be needing it soon. Im going to run it as is until it breaks or until I get another bendix.
Last question, is it hard to remove the flywheel in the hull? I've down the flywheel removal on another 701 engine before and it was a real bitch, out of the hull. I guess I should try it, and then remove it if I cant get it.
