Start problems
I'm at a loss. Starter whines but doesn't engage. Tapped the starter a few times to no avail. Trying to determine what is wrong before pulling off Primary cover to see what is up.....any suggestions?

sounds like the bendix. mine would do that once in a while. had to take it out and replace the bendix drive, thats the part that makes the starter drive jump out and engage the clutch gear to turn it over. they sell the drives on ebay. i have a open bdl belt drive so it wasnt that bad to do but you have a enclosed so your going to be taking the primary off. its a pain but just think when you fix it, youll be good to go for a long time.

Sounds like you need a new battery.
You might have 12.5volts..... but not enough umpgh
(my tech term) to start. I've had several batteries that
had plenty of volts.. but when the dealer hooked up to
their batt. checker they did not have the cranking POWER.

Thanks guys but found the problem. Took off the primary case to find the jack screw hanging out. Weird thing too. There was plenty of loctite on the threads and the tab was bent over the hex.....weird, but either way it's all fixed and i'm out the door!
