My wife's Gt200 starts fine. It seems like the starter stays engaged too long and makes a ringing noise. I checked the Bendix, and it moves freely. I had an LX150 that did the same thing. I changed the relay, charged the battery and clean Bendix and never got it to go away. Any ideas?

I've been questioning my starter motor recently. Try this thread:

Starter relay or starter motor failure?

Is the starter switch sticking? Hit it with a little Teflon spray and see if it moves more smoothly and stops the ringing. Mine gets sticky when it gets hot from direct sunshine.
