I have a 16 hp GXV530 twin cylinder in LT 3000 Craftsman frame.
Motor will not turn over 100% of the time due to starter gear doesn't fit into the flywheel gear.
Motor will start if I take the time to open the hood and turn the top of the flywheel screen to allow the starter pinion gear to line up with the flywheel gear. The starter will engage just fine with slight turn.
Over the course of the last year, I have replaced the ignition coils, spark plugs, air filter due to age. I replaced the starter in June, still has this same issue of the pinion lining up with the flywheel. I removed the top cowl to be able to see the issue.
Has anyone else seen or had this issue?
