Today I pulled my ski out of the garage and when I went to start the engine the starter ran but didn't engage the engine. I removed the plugs and turned the impeller but still nothing. It's getting real cold outside so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I'm thinking it might be the gear assembely. Does this sound about right? Any suggestions whould be greatly appreciated!! Thanks

Bryan, I was looking at several starter gear assy. that I have and noticed a difference in them.
The "drum" outside of where the throw out weight are is solid to the rear gear on some and will spin freely on others. The throwout gear moves normaly on both. Is this normal after use or have they been broken?Providing mobile JetSki service to the Charlotte / Lake Wylie area.

I have replaced the starter gear on a 99'1100R in the hull before. You will need to connect the motor to a overhead hoist first then remove the front engine mounting bolt from the hull. Then lift the front of the engine up 1-2 inches to gain access to the bottom bolts that hold the engine mount on the front of the mag cover. Next remove the mag cover. The starter drive will have to be wiggled past the flywheel. Be patient there is only one angle it will pass by at. then just reverse the steps and you are done. @3hrs to do the first time.
If you are not able to do this then the motor will have to come out for the change. @6hrs and a lot more gaskets.Providing mobile JetSki service to the Charlotte / Lake Wylie area.
