edwroy 138 #1 Posted January 31, 2014 Have C 195 - the bendix is hanging up which means the starter spins but doesn't engage. Took the starter off and cleaned with CRC brake cleaner. Still hangs- suggestions? Thanks, Edwory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Buck 246 #2 Posted January 31, 2014 I would take it apart and see if I could fix it. It is no good to you the way it is right? If you can't then I guess you need to find a replacement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ARK 9 #3 Posted February 1, 2014 Sounds like a teardown, clean, grease, while at it clean up commutator, grease end bearings, verify no canting during operation with load Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smoreau 658 #4 Posted February 1, 2014 (edited) Check and see if the starter bushings are bad, I have had 3 of my Kohler twins have this problem. There is a aftermarket company you can get the rebuild kit with bushings. You will not get the bushings in a Kohler kit, It has to be aftermarket Edited February 1, 2014 by smoreau Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldredrider 2,547 #5 Posted February 1, 2014 Do you have a link for the aftermarket kits? Would save time searching... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
