Hey all, Well i guess the starter finally took a poop. Fired up and used for about 20min. Shut down for about a half hour and went to refire and i could hear the starter spinning over but not engaging. It did this one time about 4months ago. Lucky then i just turned the key off then re fired and it cranked right up. Not been an issue since. Tried the same thing today but no dice. Starter just spins and spins and won't engage. I tried to bump it with a steel pipe but not enough room to do anything. So my question is what is the best way to remove this darn thing. Ive never pulled a starter before on anything. Will i need to drain the oil ? Or dose it just unbolt and come out and install is reverse of removal ? Its a 2005 ASV RC 100. It has the Perkins 1104c-44t motor in it. THinking i can access it through the belly pan but never yanked one out. This will be done in the field so any suprizes i might encounter would be nice to know about. Like a mass amount of oil pouring out once removed or springs washers etc. Thanks !
You may try to turn the engine by hand a half turn, could be a bad spot on the starter ring gear. Key switch off and turn the fan and belt to change the contact area on the flywheel. As always be careful with you hands in that area. May get lucky and get it running so you can move it. Have not worked on one ASV machine but have seen a lot being worked on.
