My battery wasn't charging so I mistakenly changed the stater. Turns out the battery was too bad to accept a charge. I have a brand new battery now but the starting is odd. I get a backfire during cranking but when I stop pressing the start button, it lights up and runs fine. Almost like the Bendix doesn't want to release on it's own. As far as timing goes, I'm sure I lined up the woodruff key properly plus it runs perfect once started but why the backfire while motoring the starter? I didn't lube the Bendix while I was in there as everything was dry but wished I did now.
