[quote=”Jotmon1″ post=51428]My lawn mower does the same thing. It sounds like the starter bendix. Once the starter bendix engages the flywheel it stays engaged till the engine runs fast enough to cause it to return to its normal position. If the shaft the bendix rides on is rusty, contaminated or worn out it will make this sound. Depending on the age and mileage you should either replace the bendix or starter and bendix together. If I am correct, it only does it on start up and always quits when you rev the engine.[/quote]
It only does it upon start up and only for about 1-2 seconds.
