Double check that your battery is fully charged and your battery cable connection are all clean before pulling the cover.
The next step is to pull the front cover and flywheel. Take a peek inside and see what's going on.

It is most likely that you need a starter bendix. They look like this and go between the flywheel and the starter.

I am looking for 55 shipped for my used one.

Yes you can take the front cover off while the motor is in the ski. It just requires some flexibility.

That one on ebay is not OEM. The non-OEM ones are hit or miss.
