I found the starter is why the jetski engine is not starting, I tapped it with a hammer and it would spin about one round then stop, I got the fuel tank out, but still can't see a way to get the starter out, what all has to come out before getting the starter out maybe the exhaust manifold. 1995 SL750 John

You do not have to take the exhaust off! You need the proper tools and extension to reach the 10mm studs. It helps to be double jointed!
