[QUOTE=Seeker;131950]I know it sounds stupid but one thing to check is if the starter is securely bolted to the engine.
The starter was tough to get out, it is under the engine, but by standing on my head I got it out. The gears on the starter look a little worn but the fly wheel gears seems to have been ground down a little.
i found two things that may be the problem
The nut on the wires to the starter are loose.
The marina that installed the starter bolts in 2005 seem to have put them in crooked, at least the bolts look bent and the bolts were loose when i took them out.
Should I put the starter back on after tightening the wires and re-tighteni the bolts.
I guess if that does not work the engineit will have to be pulled to get the flywheel replaced.
Not good news.
