Took my starter off, and in playing with it slid the gear down the shaft, and it locked there. Took about 2 hours to figure out how to push that little nub back in to free it. Why is that slot there except to turn otherwise nice people into raving lunatics?

Best Regards!!!!! !!!

Rick..... ..the slot in the starter Bendix has a name I don't remember right now. Its really a RPM differential scheme so that when the engine starts, the flywheel velocity is faster than the starter gear velocity, it causes the Bendix worm gear to wind itself back up on itself thus desengageing and withdrawing the starter gear from flywheel ring gear.

Many times the Bendix spiral gear gets sticky with oil deposits and it slows down the extention of the starter gear into the flywheel ring gear and causes all sorts of grinding and non-starting. Bendix drive gear is really designed to run un-lubricated, clean it well.

Now then, there are some N-Board members that claim you can "simulate" a engine start by using a wire brush on a grinder to speed up the ring and drive the starter gear back up the shaft instead of mucking around 2 hours with a little hard to get to "nub" to rewind the starter drive.

But now you know..... ...Dell
