WD-45, 2years ago a new starter, ring gear, have good, charged battery and the starter won't engage. Took it off and the gear will move but its not spinning out enough to engage. What should I look?

Last winter I had the same thing happen to my WD. The motor would spin fast but not engage the flywheel gear. I pulled the starter and disassembled it. The large spring on the bendix was broken. Ths small spring was fine. I bought a new assembly for 40 bucks from Sandy Lake Implement. No troubles now.

There should be very light weight oil on the Bendix. If it is heavy weight or grease, it might not jump out into the ring gear. Using battery cables, jump the starter and watch what the bendix does. The heavy spring doesn't do anything to engage - it is only to absorb the shock when the gears engage. The light spring is for retraction. The movement out is all centrigual. If it doesn't spin up fast, there won't be enough energy to throw it into position. A weak battery, poor cables, bad battery connections, bad starter all can make a Bendix look bad. And of course, if everything else is know good, the Bendix could be bad. They do fail but not often.

Sounds like its getting weak and not spinning up fast enough to kick it out. Or you have a bad connection some place and not getting full power. Or you battery isn't really all that good. Or you could have a bad bendex
