Why does my starter keep kicking out?
The drive kicks out when the flywheel turns faster than the starter can. If you can get the starter to turn faster it will keep up with the flywheel. You need a starter in good shape, a good battery and good cables. One way to turn the starter faster is to increase the battery voltage.
How do you know if your outboard starter is bad?
When an outboard starter fails, it will turn the engine over slowly, not at all, or make a clicking sound. It can also spin extremely fast but not engage or turn the flywheel of the engine.
Can a Bendix be used as a starter?
The shaft that the bendix rides up and down on must be clean and lightly lubed. You should be able to manually turn the bendix up to engage the flywheel without it binding. And yes it can be the starter itself but 90% of all starter problems is due to the battery or cables.
Why is my Bendix not working on my flywheel?
The lugs on the battery cables can get corroded inside where you can’t see it and cause that problem. The shaft that the bendix rides up and down on must be clean and lightly lubed. You should be able to manually turn the bendix up to engage the flywheel without it binding.
Why does the starter spin but not engage the flywheel?
The Bendix gear is mounted on spiral grooves in the starter shaft and held down (when not engaged) by a spring. When the starter motor is engaged it starts to spin the shaft and the gear can’t accellerate that fast so it slides up the grooves until it engages the flywheel. That is inertia.

How does a Bendix Duraflo air compressor work?
The compressor’s unloader mechanism and governor. (along with a synchro valve for the Bendix® DuraFlo™. 596 air compressor) control the brake system air pressure between a preset maximum and minimum pressure level by monitoring the pressure in the service (or “supply”) reservoir.
