kingfish689 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I have a 1998 johnson 15 hp motor and when i go to pullstart it the flywheel dont catch most of the time. I have to play with the shift lever to get it to grab ahold of the flywheel to start the motor. Has anyone else ever had this problem and if so what did you do to fix it this has been a problem for years now but it seems to be getting worse thanks for any help on this problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boatfixer Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Does the starter spin? or is it locking up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfish689 Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 no starter. the dogs that kick in and grab the flywheel dont kick in . so that when you pull on the rope it just pulls freely a half a dozen times before they kickin and grab the fly wheel and start the motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
