Got my 2009 Jinma 254 home from our camp this week. Eventually will change out fluids, filters, retorque head, and make some upgrages. Currently at 80 hours of hard use, suggestions as to what could/should be done would be appreciated. My first order of business was to pull the starter and try to find out why I am getting a progressive problem with the solenoid picking the pinon gear out but not turning over the engine. It usually happens a few times before finally engaging the flywheel and tuning over. It has been getting worse lately. On the bench when 12v is applied across the solenoid terminals the pinon gear shoots out but will not turn. Seems like it should spin as well. Am I wrong there? Tried cleaning things up without any disassembly, but no help.
Thanks
