Snapper Riding Mower Starter problem

kourso
12 years ago

I have a Snapper Riding Mower, Series 8, 10 hp B/S engine, Hi Vac with electric start, Mod# 28108BE

My starter motor runs but the bendix starter gear will not move up to engage the flywheel even after I put a battery charger on it to boost the power.

The starter gear looks fine and it freely moves up the spindle by hand. I remember years ago, I had a similar problem previously and I bought a few starter gear mechanism parts from a local Snapper dealer. I remember disassembling the bendix drive somehow and replacing the parts. Now I seem to remember how to get the bendix drive to disassemble.

I do see the plastic cone that is on top is broken.

Can anyone direct me to a diagram of the starter and/or how to disassemble the bendix drive?

I can't find any Snapper electric starter drive parts at any online Snapper parts suppliers?

I would appreciate any quick assistance with this.

Thanks
