Hi all, so I have a local omc shop replace my starter, now when I go to start it it makes a noise almost like an aggressive grind and then kicks back. After a couple of tries it does engage properly. When I called the shop and advised them of this the guy tried to tell me that it was the ring gear that was worn out. The kicker here is that I have just replaced the coupler and inspected the ring gear for wear and it was good.
Could the starter be over engaging?
Any ideas as to the cause...has anyone ever shimmed a marine starter?
Thank you in advance
