starter bendix problem
#1
having trouble gtting the "bendix" to engage to the flywheel on my 2000 magnum 325....For several weeks it has been getting progressivly worse....Now it almost never engages....Starter spins just fine.Have Taken it out,cleaned,lubed it as per the Polaris Service manual....The gears are not worn.And working it by hand it locks....The polaris dealer parts guy said the "return" spring was the only part he could order,out side of 230.00 for a whole assymbly.As I see it the return spring helps to disengage the bendix once the engine is running....Would it affect the engaging process???Thanks for your help...

RDR,
you need to pull the recoil housing back off and check the bushing up inside of the housing. Also, you do have the shims on the inside and outside of the bendix?.. What grease and how much are you using when you reassemble it?... It doesn't engage the flywheel?... Usually its the other way around, it usually doesnt want to disengage.

Bushing inside the recoil housing is good,,,,,there is a bushing/washer on the back of the gear that is closest to the crankcase.....no bushing on the side of the recoil housing....This morning,as usual the starter would spin but no flywheel engage...pull cord started it and rode a couple hours...forgot and shut it off at a pit stop and lo and behold it fired right up with the starter...no problen at all the rest of the day..hmnnn.......
