When I go to start the engine (with a fully charge battery hooked up to a 200 amp start assist pack) I can hear the bendex engage and the engine will crank very slow for maybe half a revolution then stop. When I bar the engine by hand I can turn the engine as much as I want, no expensive crunchy sounds, but it feels like it is coming up against some serious resistance. When I turn it slow it feels liek it could just be the compression, but when I turn it fast the resistance is enough to stop me in my tracks. I hold it and slowly I get over the "hump" for lack of a better term. Then it spins for maybe 170 degrees and then that same resistance. I think it is that resistance that is stopping the starter. I am going to uncouple the engine from the pump, (found a parts book and it looks like a simple enough job, maybe a u-joint in there) That will tell me what system I am having the issue with, engine or hydraulics, but if anyone has experience with a similar problem I am all ears. Thanks.</p></blockquote><p></p>
