I had starting issues yesterday. Got it off the trailer just fine and then couldn't start it. Bummer because I can't get it back on the trailer without it starting.
I had two issues.
1) the starter was turning the engine fine but started to grind and then eventually it just whirs. It will basically not engage at all now.
I know about the 12/ 6 volt starter combo,these have. I have a 1600 and use 12 volts. I know there are a couple replacement options, which one seems to work the best?
Problem 2) I had to by-pass the fuel pump to get it started. Also had to pull start it with my truck and put the snow trac in 4 th. Fired right up once we by-passed the fuel pump. I can figure out the fuel issue if I can get the starter working or replaced.
What is the best starter to use? Ideally something that can fit in the tight spot and not have to shave one of the mounting ears off.
Thanks for any suggestions.
I even called a tow truck yesterday but then finally got it started and running enough to get it back on the trailer. First time we never made it to the trail and probably a good thing!
