Working on my son's B&S 17.5 Twin II Model 42A707, Type 2238E1, code 9904225B again. I got the flywheel off and starter off, starter is dragging enough I can hardly turn it by hand. When the bendix came apart, it broke a small piece out of the ring gear. Will it work like this or will it tear up the gear on the starter? I found a starter on Amazon, also see they list ring gears, just wondering if I should save myself some headaches and just replace the ring gear also?
I have looked online for a service manual for this engine and can't seem to find a free download. Does this engine have a compression release on it? If so, how do you check it to see if it's working. The battery cables are about the size of a pencil, so I'm going to take them off and take them to work and have them make 2 new LARGER cables for it. Thanks for any and all replys, Chris
