I have a 300 u that was originally 6 v. the guy who I bought it from changed it to 12.
It always started very easily, but recently the starter often doesn't mesh with the ring gear .
I took the starter out and did some measuring and if the starter gear came out the whole way, the ring gear and the starter gear would mesh completely, so it's not getting out the whole way for whatever reason. The starter gear was boogred up for about 1/4" and the ring gear seems mostly OK it has a very slight edge on the teeth.
I thought, "Well I don't think it will hurt anything worse than it is" so I used a grinder and cleaned up the starter gear.
That seemed to work for a very few starts and then it started doing it again. Obviously the starter gear is not getting out as far as it should
Anyone have any advice?
