I stripped the bendix down last week and cleaned and oiled it, all teeth are present and are if good condition.


Any ideas?

It may be something as simple as a flat battery or misalignment.
As long as it makes a awful noise, I guess the battery is OK. Did you try another battery?

What about the sprag clutch on the crank? Did you check that it engages correctly?
