For some time now I’ve had a problem where occassionaly, usually after having not been used for a day or two the starter motor just spins and doesn’t engage the engine. Up until now it always worked on the second or third try but this week it has started doing it all the time. Sounds like the enertia doobrey (bendix gear?) is not moving out. Had to hand crank it a few times this week, dead easy when it is cold, usually get it on first or second try but when it’s warm it’s a different story… not easy at all, lots of effort required and I can’t half feel it all across my shoulders today! Hopefully all it needs is a good clean.
