Re: Flywheel or Gear replacement?
Update...got some time to get back to it here. Rebuilt starters brand spanking new back from the shop - @ $70 ea. for complete rebuild.
I am KILLING myself now and can't believe a couple years ago I bought a new starter from my boat mechanic (now Ex-boat-mechanic) for like $200+ and he threw my old one aside and said "yeah, that's junk" .... !#$#$@#$ Obvious to me now that he surely didn't throw it in the trash!
Anyway, here's the new babies:
Ring gear came off pretty easy, got quite a bit of wire brushing to do b4 putting the new one on:
Oh, and chiefalen, here's that timing cover lower lip for ya... some surface rusting on the edges but I think it may be OK. No oil leaks or anything, the oil you see in the pics is just me liquid wrenching everything to try to loosen some of this stuff up...
I'll be pulling the pan and cleaning everything up down there. I think the pics make the situation look a lot worse than it really is ... a lot of this is just surface rust/corrosion growing out of control, but one thing's for sure - whoever has it on his sig. in the forums something like "take one thing off, you find another, and then another, blah blah......" so true!!!
