Re: starter stuck? help!
Mine did the same thing a couple of times. After disconnecting the battery to stop the starter from spinning, the starter would then spin but not engage the flywheel. Prior to this happening, I had just put the shroud back on the motor. In putting it back on it had bumped up against the starter circuitry. <br /><br />It turned out the problem there was a loose connection on one of the thick wires attached to the starter solenoid. Bumping the motor shroud against them had caused the problem. Tightening all the connections remedied the problem. <br /><br />Luckily, it only took me about 15 minutes to figure this out and our outing was not spoiled.
