Thanks Dave,
I'll be able to check to see if it's siezed later today, if weather allows. No prior problems like this in past, I did stop on an hill facing down, turned engine off-then when I tried to restart is when the starter wouldn't engage-it did attempt to engage, but I guess the driver gear would not. I'll check engine as you suggested, if that's ok I'll check to see if helix with gear is ok.
Thanks Again,
Walt, September 2008
