Massimo 400 starter won't engage.

[Dakotaammons]

I have Massimo 400, the starter spins but does not turn over the engine. I thought one way bearing was bad where the gear is on the crankshaft, but it spins free clockwise and engages counter clockwise. Is that the correct way? Is it possible my starter is spinning it backwards for some reason?

Actually, this happened to me. I had removed the starter on my T-boss 410, cleaned it, and when I replaced it, it was spinning in reverse. Took me a while to figure it out, but I had to disassemble it and reassemble it a few times before it ran in the correct direction.

Do you remember what direction is the correct direction for the starter or engine to spin? My starter is spinning clockwise if I'm looking straight at the gear. 

[T-boss 410]

If I remember correctly it was clockwise, but don't quote me on that. I don't know if we have the same engine or not.

Should be able to find the parts you need on Massimo's website. Also, do a search on the internet.

The same thing just happened to me. Did you figure out a way to fix it?
