Does the bendix have a clutch? I just cleaned up my bendix and while it seems to be rising up now and it sounds like it's spinning strong the timing wheel is a bit herky jerky. Sometimes it goes sometimes it doesn't. It got a bath in saltwater so I used penetrating oil and a brush all over it. This part is hidden from view under the timing cover on my motor which makes troubleshooting a bit tougher.
Thanks,
Jim
