little help

[fals3illusion]

ok, so everytime i let my ski sit, more than a week and i hit the start button the starter is spinning freely(at least it sounds that way).

then ill have to pull the tank, take the flywheel cover off and spin the bendix till it hits the starter. then put it all back on and itll be fine.

anyone know why this happens every so often?

Thanks Guys,
Justin

your bendix is dying or needs to be lubed.

yeah i just got this one, this is my 3rd bendix !!!!!!!!!

what do i have to lube up? just a big glob on the whole thing?

and grease or what should i use?

Is the spring in the flywheel cover? There is a small spring that goes in the flywheel cover and puts pressure on the end of the bendix.

If it is the bendix:
Soak that thing in automatic tranny fluid for a day. Then a dip in gear oil. I always put a little gear oil (90wt) in the flywheel housing/cover. keeps things from getting rusty.

What, the spring or the lubing process?

start the ski more often than once per week.

well i took my bendix out and it was locked up bad, i just soaked it in automatic tranny fluid for over 14 hours and tried to twist it and nothing any other tips to get it unlocked?

 

[stanton]

that was a new bendix??

I would find out how moisture is getting into the front cover

 

[fals3illusion]

not new, but a friend gave me it in basically Mint condition

and i when i took it off my gasket was toast so thats how moisture got in there

 

[fals3illusion]

ok well good news is i took some channel locks to the bendix and w little force it budges and works fine.

now i have another question.....

do you guys put anything on your electronics inside the case (stator) to keep it from rusting if any moisture gets in there?
