raptor starter

[NYRAPTOR]

it makes noise like its spinning but not turning engine over. do i need a new starter or did i wreck something else? thanks for your help. john

The little gear that spins the engine over isn't moving forward, it's stuck. Remove starter and see if you can clean and lube, then see if it works.

thanks bro. i got the starter out. i'm going to give that a try. if not i guess its time for a new one. thanks again

im not sure if the raptor is the same, but when that was happening on my 400ex, it was the starter clutch that had gone bad

[NYRAPTOR]

i read something about that to. i hope it's just the starter gear.

Jon,

It's the one way bearing. Raptors are famous for that.

[NYRAPTOR]

does that mean just replace the starter? thanks mike

You need to replace the starter clutch not the starter. Raptor do seem to eat them up.

That's cool, didn't know they had a one way bearing, do now. Thanks
