1994 Yamaha Timberwolf - Starter Not Engaging

[oakley]

I have a 1994 Yamaha Timberwolf that has been a strong running machine until recently. This past year I replaced the pulsar coil which resolved a prior problem I was having. After running for several weeks without a hitch, I one day went out to start it and it would not. The starter motor is turning but it does not engage the engine. Can anyone suggest a remedy to get it running again?

I have gone over the whole electrical system while in the process of correcting the pulsar coil problem. I believe where I hear the starter motor turning the problem lies elsewhere; I think.

if it is spinning the starter is still alive, i would take it off and look at the bendix spring, that spring i believe throws the gear towards the flywheel, you can test it on the bench and have a look if it moves ... if it does it might not be able to handle a load, im sure any auto place can put it on a load test for you ...
