Hello guys,
I am restoring a 1983 Heritage Special. Working on the last of the problems on the bike.
I need some help with this problem.
When the starter bendix engages the main gear it turns the engine over a few spins but then the bendix gear jumps out and then jumps back in, making a bad grinding noise as it does this.and then the engine turns over a few spins more and then it does the same jumping out.
I did the "squeeze the spring clip trick" and also reversed the gear due to some teeth wear, this solved the initial problem of the starter not engaging every time. But now this engaging and disengaging issue is happening.
I am not sure why this is happening, any ideas why would be greatly appreciated.
cheers,
Ronnie.
