Did a little work on this today. I pulled the starter because I thought it might be locked up. First off, the guy who built this thing did not think about having to make repairs. Besides pulling the front and right side blower covers and dismantling half the right side clutch set up, I needed to unbolt and raise the engine to get the starter out.

The starter was locked up because the armature had rusted to the magnet. Whee! That took about 90 minutes to correct. Got it back together and powered up with my big battery charger. It spun happily.

Got the starter back on the engine and wired back up. Hit the starter button and the engine turned over nicely. I have no spark now, but that's a problem for another day.
