    Starter help on 91 evinrude 175

    Hi guys. I wrote a week back about problems I had with this motor. It is back at the dealer getting work done. It is under warranty at least. The problem I had is before I took it in it wouldn't start. The starter would just spin. I took it to a local Evinrude dealer and the mechanic said it was the starter. He took it off and it sounded like it had a bunch of lead shot inside. He replaced the starter and the motor didn't start. He then replaced the starter cellenoid and it still wouldn't start. He checked all voltage coming from the battery, and to the cllenoid and everything seemed fine. Anyway I had to go so he left it as it was and I took it home. When I got home just for the heck of it I turned the key over and it sounded like it was engaging. I hooked up water to the engine and it fired right up. Why didn't it engage right away? I kept shutting it off and starting it again and it started everytime. Do you think it is fine now? Thanks, Max

    Which motor, model number please.

    Did he load test the battery?
    Was the Bendix stuck?

    I don't have a model # as I am at work. It is an Intruder 175. He did load test the battery though. I don't know if the Bendix was stuck or not. I had to leave before he could finish, and I didn't want to leave the boat there. As I was leaving a man that was leaving his boat told me that there was a gear or something above the starter that could get stuck and I would have to take off the starter and spray some lube on it to get it unstuck. Is this the Bendix you are talking about? I am not too familiar with outboards so forgive my ignorance.
