Electric start question Original Message Mar 2, 2005 12:36 pm
I removed the electric start from my 5hp snowking because it was not engaging everytime. I put some oil on the shaft and reinstalled the starter Now it doesnt seem to contact the flywheel at all. Is there a trick to installing one ? All I did was line the holes up and put the bolts back on. do I have to do anything else?
thanks

On the oiling thing, there is only one type of oil that can go on electronic parts without any damage. WD-40
I have a Murray RER that no longer runs. When I first got it, the startor would exibit the same symptoms as yours. All, I did was clean in up with WD-40 and she never had problems again!
