bendix issue
I put in a new bendix off e-bay, one of those heavy Duty ones, but my problem is that it takes 3-4 tries before it engages. if it doesn't it just seems to spin. I remember hearing about stretching the spring or something of that sort but can't find it. I still have the stocker which seems just as functional as the new one?
Any ideas?
Thanks

bendix issue
the bearing should be sealed.. there is only one bearing in it just behind the gear you see that engages with the bendix. the starters come apart really easy and are not hard to put back together. if you can get the bearing out i would just take it to a bearing house and replace it.

bendix issue
Ok, this is what i did tonight. I took the starter out and apart and cleaned it. The bearing wasn't dry, but i added a little more grease. Volt meter said 11.85 at the starter and 11.08 when i ran it without a load? Is this normal? Then i inspected the bendix which looks and operates like new (but its an aftermarket jobby). Then I tried it out and it still only engages every 3rd time. I tried 0,1,2 washers behind it and no difference. I took the spark plug out and it worked 4 out of 5 times. I'm out of ideas on what to do next. It all started when i had a bad primary and the bike was stuck in low. I started it in gear and it slipped, now it won't stop.
