Re AGND electric start. A loose, or previously loose, flywheel shroud may be the reason the gears are not meshing properly. The shroud is held in place by some short bolts behind the flywheel. If they have come loose in service the starter may have elongated the holes thus making bad starter pinion ring gear meshing. On many Wisconsin engines with ring gear starter (as opposed to belt drive starter generators) there is also a starter support bracket bolted to the block. If this is missing it allows the starter to kick and twist thus exerting more force on the flywheel shroud. Another possible cause of the mounting holes being elongated and causing your problem. Sorry, but I can’t remember starter makes and models though Prestolite hangs in the back of my mind. It could be 6 or 12 volt but as in another article 12 volt is OK for either starter though remember the generator voltage needs to match the battery voltage. Hope this helps. More questions may prompt my memory more. Regards
