I did some searching and didn"t find what I need. My 601 normally starts right up and runs great after you guys helped me get it re-wired correctly last year. Now when I hit the start button all it does is spin and won"t engage the engine. I took the starter off and hooked it up with jumper cables and all the shaft does is spin. It doesn"t move the gear forward or backward, just spins. A friend at work whose dad used 601"s on their farm many years ago said he thought it sounded like the armature spring. What do you experts (I"m serious) think? Time for a new starter or what?
