Tecumseh HH160 Starter issues

Recommended Posts

landsurveyor

Hi Folks,

I now have a Techumseh HH160 on my Commando, and I have issues with the starter motor. It spins, when the key is turned, but the gear wont "flick" out to the flywheel to start it.

Is the Starter shot, or is there other electrical issue?

Any ideas welcome.

Thanks

Simon

:D

Maybe just a little cleaning and a shot of WD40 on the starter drive will get you going,Rick

Thanks for your help, I have tried cleaning it with WD, but no success, maybe it needs a bit more, and I will also clean the inside.

Thanks guys.
