I have a question about a BGM 4141 starter, I have one that is staying engaged into the flywheel after the engine has started, is this normal. If not would anyone have a repair manual for it? Can seem to find one that tells me how it should be assemble.
wisconsin Prestolite Starters BGM 4141
- Thread starter chuckcnm
- Start date
Is the shaft smooth on the starter? If its rough or has sticky grease, it will stick. I don't believe there is a reason why it should be staying engaged. It should be flung back when the engine has started, as i'm sure you know.
The ones i have had that stuck like that, needed the shaft oiling, it worked a treat.

It should be a simple matter of cleaning it up and putting a bit of fresh lube on the moving points; starters are pretty easy to work on. Here's a page from my book, the Wisconsin one should be the middle.
Sorry i posted the wrong model number, should be MBG 4141.
the one i have does not have a solenoid. I have a bendix drive. I will get a picture tonite and post it.
The wisconsin engine book has a parts break down but no how to guide to take apart and put back to together.
I had it takeing apart last night and thought i had everything checked out. but I guess not. I am thinking now that the bendix drive may be stuck on the shaft, but i need to look at it again. At least it is not hard to get to, pull or break it down to at least all the big parts on the bench.
