Getting Towt up from the flow up….

I know it’s a stupid title, but it’s my blog, and you don’t pay for it! Let’s be honest. From the first day of this little adventure, I knew this day would come. The day I needed to call Doug Yates to get him to send out one of his beautiful tow trucks. The day came. The day went. I got towed.

The starter is out on the old Scout II….or maybe it’s the flywheel. The scout is back in the shop getting a new starter. The $250 price tag was not a deal breaker, but it hurts a little. Just keep in mind. There are tons of things that can go out on the engine. My mechanic is looking at the starter this week. If it is the flywheel….the repairs will go higher than $250. I think $500 to $800 if I have to do that repair.

Update: I met with my mechanic today, and he successfully installed a new, beefier starter. He told me that the flywheel had a little bit of tooth, but he seemed to think it would work itself out. I will keep in mind that may be the next thing we must replace.

I plan on working on the EFI tweaks this weekend, if possible. It all depends on whether it’s pretty outside.
