Hey just a follow up on this post. Did't want to be rude and not continiue on. Had starter rebuilt and put back in to winterize. Guess I will deal with my issue come spring. Have been watching the posts on a rebuild for my M318's. I think that day is coming soon as I have over 1600 hrs on them now. Lots of great posts Great site
