I have a new to me 1993 550sx. It runs great. I've run it a bunch of times. I was told when I got it that it had a new flywheel on it ( The guy said he didn't know why the old one was getting chewed up but he put a new one on it. ) It is supposed to have a new starter on it too. It seems that there is a problem though. every once in awhile it will get finicky and not want to engage the starter. After thinking about it and listening to what it is doing I thought it must have a tooth or two missing from the flywheel? ... I hit the starter and it just makes a whhizzing sound. I reach in and turn the drive shaft underneath and therefore it turns the flywheel??? ...Then it will crank right over. Does this sound like the flywheel problem? ...how do I fix it? Is it easy to change the flywheel? where do I buy a new flywheel? how do I know for sure this is the issue? why is it happeneing? Should i buy a service nmanual for this ski? where do i buy that? NEWBIE HERE LOL -- I hate to wrench on things but I guess I will have to since I don't have the $ to spend on someone else doing the work every time something goes wrong. Thanks in advance for any help. ....This is my first ski -- I'm loving it- real fun. Wanted one since I was 13 ... I'm 42 now haha long wait
