ive had to grind back, weld and then machine the thick end of the bendix (the end that is located in the outer cover) as it was spinning the inner shaft of the bendix inside the outer housing that has the cast in fine gear.
This can be checked by gripping the outer (fine) bendix gear in a vice (with plastic jaw protectors) then seeing if the gear that contacts with the flywheel gear can be turned (a well worn one will turn by hand,one with a fresh problem may need vise grips to turn to find the problem.)
Hope this helps!
