Houston, we have a problem
Looks like a no go for me. 
I put the starter back in and the carb back on. The engine turned over slowly at first, and now won't turn at all. I don't know what the problem is. It may be that piece of starter that broke off has jammed in the flywheel. I stuck a flexible magnet down into the bell housing to see if I could pick up anything. Nothing. The bad part is, now the engine has to come out, and I don't know anyone local I trust to do the work. I had one local yokel work on the Donzi, and he screwed it up, and he worked on an outboard of mine and didn't fix it either. I may have to take it all the way back to Pinellas to have it worked on.

Cuda, can you turn the motor over by hand with a wrench on the crankshaft pully nut???? I realize this is a totally stupid question, but no chance the batteries are down is there??? Man this blows.

Maybe we could get some yellow "Caution: Do Not Cross" tape and tape off a whole area. Per Order: Cuda
