I turned it off for a while and when i went to restart it i found that there was no fuel coming out of the carb, after going out to get a new fuel filter i came back to find that there suddenly was fuel coming out of the jets, but the starter would no long kick. i replaced the starter this morning and had it going for about 5 minutes then it quit and since then the starter has been sounding worse and worse, i just took the new one back and got another one but it is making the same loud clicking noise and is barely moving the fan. i know the engine isn't seized and i am at a complete lose as to what to do now...
Some of my starters had spacers and if the spacer wasn't in the starter gear was too tight
against the flywheel.. could cause the same issues
