Hey
Got a yamaha waveblaster I 1996.
It sounds like the problem is with the starting motor, when I hit start it sounds like the starter just runs freely

It's not cranking the motor it just runs freely
I've tried taking out the starter and I got it loose from the mounts but I cant get it out from the hull, my riva red pipe has a water connection that sits just in the way where the starter should come out
Do these starters have a solenoid on them? Doesnt look like it from what I've seen? Because it sounds like its a solenoid problem?
I might be able to record a video, showing the sound of the starter... If i could just get ther starter mounted back
