[QUOTE="muskiemike12, post: 316459, member: 4897"] The bendex did not engage when the key was turned. There was an intermittent clicking at first, now it doesn't click at all. All the connections are tight and I replaced the solenoid and that made no difference. I would hate to have to pull it out of the lake because we don't have a trailer and the guy up here who works on the older motors is 40 minutes away. Hoping it is some thing I can fix on the water. I see that iboats has the repair kits but I don't know which one I would need. There are 5 different kits. The complete kit that includes everything is only $70 less than a new starter. When the motor was starting the first few cranks on the starter were always slow. Once it got turned over a few times it cranked just fine. [/QUOTE]
