Hoping for a answer, or help, rebuilt my engine over winter, upgraded to a tbm flywheel, upon inital starting of engine, turns over a few revolutions, then bendix kicks out(free spinning) do it a few times, hit the primer and it fires up, once warm no problem, starts in a under a second. I removed the front cover today to take a look, aluminum flakes everywhere, upon further inspection, seems that the bendix is only engauging maybe 1/8" into the ring gear of the tbm flywheel, has anyone had this problem? Is my bendix failing?, or faulty flywheel, need shimming of the bendix. Any help is welcome. Thanks
