Title: Help with a starter motor
Post by: IrishCJ6 on June 24, 2013, 07:50:22 PM

Guy's

Trying to help out a mate with a J20, the starter motor is playing up. It will spin but won't engage. I have pulled the thing apart to see if there was anything jamming it or loose but all seems fine. It will spin happily and at good speed but won't pull the arm down to engage drive. I think its got to be something to do with a lazy magnetic pull? or is there something else. Any help appreciated

Needs a new starter the bendix is weak and will not be replaceable as they are very strange size

Thanks Bubba, I was thinking down the same lines now you've just confirmed it.

I have had it three times over the years you can get everything refurbed but not the bendix
