Starter woes, continued. I pulled the spark plugs and turned the engine by hand at the front pully dog nut. I felt some derangement scraping sound and my heart sank. But it was just the fan rubbing against the wrench.
Once I turned the engine, I was able to crank the engine with the starter. But it did "jam" or "short out" x 2. I needed to turn the engine again by hand again. This is suggesting ?? that I might have broken a tooth on the flywheel.
It was cold, I had other tasks, so I abandoned for the evening. In the meanwhile, a splice in the ignition wire separated, so I need to fix that as well.
Will try to figure out best way to examine and perhaps replace the flywheel.
