bought a 03 warrior from a kid i play soccer with can be bump started but needs rear axle house... BUT the problem is that you can hear the starter turn over but nothing happens. what could be a fix to this.

 

so its just the starter turning? or does it turn the engine over?

 

just the starter turns over i believe... I've rebuilt truck starters and tractor starters but this one is set up different. so does the starter not have a bendix spring in it??

 

i don't need this fixed tonight but you guys have to have a idea of what might be causing it

 

there pretty simple starters, if the starter gear and the starter clutch parts are all in good condition then im thinking your starter brushes or plate are worn out, id just pull it out an check it out there pretty simple

 

i know the starter is turning i don't know about the starter clutch being bad and didn't want to buy parts until i knew for sure.

 

hey I have the same problem with my 95 warrior I pulled the stator cover and you can see inside that the starter is turning the gear but it isn't turning the flywheel I know mine isn't the starter I think it is the starter clutch If u find out what it is please let me know

 

I'm a good mechanic but what is going to be involved in replacing the starter clutch and should i assume a hour or a couple of hours to repair.

 

You have to have the correct flywheel puller to replace the starter clutch. Is it going ka-clank, ca-klank, ca-klank while trying to start? IF so then it's def. the starter clutch.

 

no it just sounds like the starter is freewheeling but i'm being told locally it's the starter clutch
