Team70R 157 #1 Posted January 27, 2017 The starter on one of my H60s engages fine but squeals like crazy! What would cause that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 18,698 #2 Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) In side the recoil unit there is a little tin cup held by a short phillips head screw that covers the engagement dog. This can shift off center over time and rub against the flywheel cup. Edited January 27, 2017 by pfrederi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Team70R 157 #4 Posted January 27, 2017 Electric. It does it with the starter off the motor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldredrider 2,553 #5 Posted January 27, 2017 Probably dry or worn bushings on the shaft. Is there up and down play on the gear end? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oldredrider 2,553 #7 Posted January 27, 2017 Yup, she's worn. Just a matter of time before it quits without a rebuild. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Team70R 157 #8 Posted January 27, 2017 How hard is a rebuild? I'd like to try it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
