So anyways my bendix grenaded so I out in a minty one. Well, when I crank it over it engaged very very rough sounding and then it'll end up just whining, and then engage again.. It sounds so so so so rough. Really bad. What could it be? Checked it with a jumper to make sure I didn't have a low battery. Planning on pulling the motor and starter to get a better look.
Starter/bendix issues..
- Thread starter Roseand
- Start date
Well you've got it narowwed down to one or the other... The free spinning bendix does not sound good.
When the previous bendix went, did it damage the starters snout gear any or the large bendix gear on the backside
When my bendix stops engaging the flywheel when the starter spins I change the bendix
When my starter starts cranking sorta slow with an electronic type grinding noose I change the starter

I don't know if it damaged it. I will check now. Got the motor out and am pulling the flywheel again. Only thing I noticed is in the flywheel cover I didn't have a washer with my previous bendix. So I added one I had laying around, probably not the right thickness. So I thought that was the issue, but I took it out and it did the same thing. The bushing in the flywheel cover doesn't have much play but the case bushing does. I figured if one of the bushings was good that it would be fine for this weekends ride. But would a loose case bushing do this?
