1997 Evinrude 90 hp starter bendix
My bendix (part # 434517) on my 90 hp Evinrude wasn't always engaging. So I
took all the covers off , pulled out the shaft assy out and did find that it was sticking. Finding that, I cleaned it up and gave it a light coat of grease and made sure all the moving parts moved freely. Now the problem : After reassembly, I turn the key and it sounds like the bendix gear is not engaging the fly wheel. The fly wheel turns slow, lot of what sounds like metel to metal squeal. Almost like the shaft assembly is not in alignment and the top of the bendix is spinning underneath the fly wheel . That would make sense to me seeing the bendix gear is warm to the touch after breaking it down again to investigate. Can some one please help me with my situation? Thanks , Matt. |

1997 Evinrude 90 hp starter bendix
I take it, that is an American Bosch design. the turning slow..hmmm,
you sure the battery is up good? that starter depends on fast spinning torque to throw the pinion into the flywheel. I'd flush off the light greast and lube it only with penetrating or light (like 2 in 1) oil. yes, the grease can actually slow the drive pinion down so it can't engage the flywheel.

OK Matt, that rules out that notion.
Now, does the bendix gear look like its edges are worn nown into a "slope"? not to be confused with the natural bevel made onto the gear? if so, the bendix needs replaced.
