Re: bendex problems
Unless you remove the starter to inspect the Bendix to see what if anything is wrong with it, any advise would just be guessing.

Re: bendex problems
Since you have the starter out, please post a picture showing the Bendix.
Not sure exactly what you mean when you say it "jumps out". Does it just spin without cranking? Does it start to crank the engine and then disengage before it fires? Does the engine fire a little and then it disengages? |

Re: bendex problems
Since they are inertia type the acceleration of the starter should push the gear into the ringgear and keep it there until you release starter button or engine spins faster then starter.
So starter can go to slow...or friction between gear and bendix to high not letting it engage properly. Flywheel ringgear worn so it kicks the bendix gear back out. As said before...pics and a real good description of what goes on... |

Re: bendex problems
Sometimes the ring gear on the flywheel gets "tweaked", or worn in a certain spot. The engine always stops in the same couple of spots. Therefore the odds of aligning with the "tweaked" spot are good.
Some folks remove the ring gear , rotate it 45 degrees and reinstall it. My thought is if I got to go through all that just replace it. Does the starter just spin and the engine doesn't turn over. Something to think about? Chap |

Re: bendex problems
Does starter work (when out of the car) when you hook a battery charger to it?

Re: bendex problems
One of the only bad things about the early type Bendix is that the engine can fire one cylinder and kick the Bendix gear out. If it's only firing on one, the damn thing won't carry through with a complete start. The later type Bendix is better but not by a large margin and they are hell to get in and out of the bell housing.
A person has to find out why it won't fire more than one or two cylinders if this process doesn't improve. Check the compression, accelerator pump, ignition system etc., if it won't start. In the cooler months, they can show up problems that didn't exist in warmer months. |

Re: bendex problems
jan: Consider installing the OEM Bendix starter as Bubba suggested. Also, make sure the little hanger clip that bolts the starter to the oil pan is installed.

Re: bendex problems
I had the reverse of the problem, the starter would engage and not kick back out. The engine would try to start, but just wouldn't. For some reason installing a new battery fixed that problem.
