Hi Dave,

Boy! I 'taint smart enought to know why it happens, just have noticed those "patterns" over the years.

When that starter smacks the flywheel, chances are it is hitting in the same spot time after time after time. It's a wonder they last as long as they do.

Another thing I've always wondered about is the "bendix' type starters. They are spinning almost full bore when they hit that flywheel. How do those teeth and the sprags manage to take the punishment?

WIth a solenoid type starter on the other hand, the drive is fully engaged with the flywheel teeth before the starter ever begins to spin.

Dunno,

Allan
