Starter Won't Engage
I have an ongoing problem with the starter on my '82 200 Black Max. The starter gear bounces off the flywheel most of the time and doesn't engage. I have to twist the gear and engage it manually. The starter turns just fine. A friend told me to lube it with graphite. I couldn't get much in there because it's hard to get in from the top. It seemed to help a little, but the problem has gotten progressively worse. I can't detect any friction against the shaft when I twist it manually, but that doesn't mean it isn't there.

That's the most likely, along with the usual suspects. Clean all connections till shiney, inspect battery cables, load test battery. The starters in these engines need to fire hard to engage the starter drive. The starter can actually be in poor condition, but with enough juice, it'll still start.

I just use 2-4-C, or 3 in one oil on the drive. Remove the starter, pull out the 2 long bolts in the end frame, and the brushes will be right there at the bottom.

Sounds like WEAK VOLTAGE SUPPLY to the starter ... No matter if you've got ten batteries and you have a good solid 12 volts at them if the voltage is not getting to the starter with a good path ( bad or broke down battery wiring ) it is gonna do the same thing you described...
