Good Afternoon!

I went to start the motor on the hose this afternoon and.........

The first two turns of the key, the starter spun, but did not engage.

The third time, it engaged. I had this problem at the end of the season as well. It seemed to engage everytime with freshly charged batteries.

I did not have my meter with me so I could not check for a short. Could it be the starter? Stator? Ground? Charging System? All of the above?

You expert advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Tim
