REFLECTOR: Franklin Starter

[Ron Brown]

Mike,

Make sure your battery is good and hot.  A bendix that doesn't want to engage often is the result of low voltage condition.  This is caused by the starter not spinning up to speed fast enough to cause the bendix to engage.

  Brian,

  I don't see where that is possible. The skytec starter has a 
  long shaft with the bendix assemble extending almost the
  full length of the breather housing. Unless there is some way
  to disassemble and remove the bendix mechanism, I see no 
  way to remove it without pulling back the engine.

  John, the engine was off for forty-five minutes, but was still
  very warm when it happened.
