Been busy so haven't made much progress.Had the starter electrical system checked by an auto electrician.So I can confirm the battery,cables,solenoid & earths are all good.The after market 410w KTM starter that I reversed may be suspect.I can not get pinion shaft parts 16/17 out,but it spins freely & I marked the shaft & gears to check slippage but is all good.So I have been unlucky & got a dodgy starter OR its the dreaded Bendix! Bendix has been welded,weight spring & return spring stretched for a lighter action.It has good full engagement into the ring gear.Easily turns it over with the plug out.
Think I will get another starter & try to get a CH80 bendix & do the converstion. Getting parts in NZ can take ages at the moment.
