The bendix under the plastic cover may need to be oiled.

Your starter is a gear reduction type, so the small gear that sits on top of the starter is inserted into the engine block cavity where the bendix lives, that is under the plastic flywheel cover. To access the throttle linkages, timing disk, optical eye (EET) and 1 million bolts have to be removed to access. There is a wave washer on the bendix and a brass bushing in the flywheel cover.
i am not a mechanic is there an illustration on what i have to take off to see if i can fix this or any tips on what i may be able to do
This link is for the starter and bendix, https://www.marineengine.com/parts/j...mp%3B+Solenoid
This is the for the flywheel cover. https://www.marineengine.com/parts/j...gnition+System
Battery fully charged? Is the gear on top of the starter? It will sometimes lose the retainer clip and spin off into the cavity.
gear still in place with ring clip
Gave you the links for the illustration to see if you can fix it yourself.
than you, as i said i am not a mechanic and after looking at it or illustrations i am not sure i can do myself, more afraid of messing something up that i couldnt fix. i am from the upstate of south carolina is there anyone else from this area that works on johnsons or does anyone know of someone in this area.
I asked once. Is the battery fully charged?
Holden's Marine in Spartanburg, Angler's Choice in Spindale, NC, European Marine in Greenville will work on them, Perry Haymes in Fountain Inn, Lee's Marine, Strickland marine both in Anderson, 72 Marine in Elberton, GA, to name a few.
thank you, and yes batter fully charged. new battery last month.
