8BA Ford Flathead starter bendix noise

Discussion in 'The Antiquated' started by Showing-Cords, Mar 6, 2023.

  1. I have my engine barking off the key. Trouble is, the outer bolt on the bendix is striking something and making a heck of a noise until the starter winds down. The outer end of the bendix wiggles a little bit even with the bolt tightened down. The inner end of the bendix slides freely along the starter shaft. I'm not sure what to do about it but the last thing I need is for the end of that bendix to come off and get ****ed up by the flywheel. Here's a pic for reference, I hope it will help.

    You need to post this on the main forum.
     
  3. "A forum for the finding, restoration, and saving of pre-65 old ****..." Seems appropriate to me, but fine. Which forum is the main one?
