Find 1986 Evinrude E25TECDC 25hp Outboard Motor- Starter not engaging

Need some help please. I have a 1988 25HP and the starter is not moving up to engage with the motor. I understand that it may require some lubrication in order to better release when engaged but need some direction on how to disassemble it to accomplish this.

If possible I'd appreciate a simple step by step to follow or if available can you lead me to a You Tube video.


Thank you
 
Give it a squirt of WD-40.

But 99% of the time, that problem is a result of low voltage to the starter. The starter gear is thrown up by inertia when the starter begins to instantly spin fast. If it is sluggish, it will not throw the gear up. Check all battery cables and connections. Don't just look at them, take them apart and clean them shiny bright. But first have the battery tested.
