I have a 318 JD (ONAN P218G-I) that has starter/flywheel problems. The previous owner replaced the starter but it won't engage the flywheel to turn the engine. It GRINDS BAD. I have remove the engine and it looks as though the teeth on the starter bendix is barely touching the teeth on the flywheel. I assume that the bendix should engage the flywheel approx. 50%. I cannot see where there is any adjustment (shim) for the starter.

Anybody have any ideas? Where can I purchase parts (starter / flywheel) at a reasonable price?

I found that I can get a new flywheel ring gear from Onan for $43.00 plus shipping. A new pinion gear for the starter goes for about $150.00 from Onan. The ring gear goes on easy after cooking in the wife's oven at 400 for 1 hour. These prices sure beat John Deere's prices.

shims go behind the starter mounts.Don't get it shimed too far
