Hello, new to this site, just purchased a 96 GTX
Ski ran fine first 30 minutes of use but then died and wouldn't start, just cranked over. Got a new battery as the one in there died. Cranked over twice then stopped turning over and now it just clicks when you try to start it. I pulled the starter out and bench tested it, it spins but the plunger only comes out of the housing maybe 1/4" then drops back in right away on the bench test. Is this normal for this starter? Any suggestions as to why this all of a sudden doesn't turn over. I am able to turn the motor over by hand with the plugs removed.
