Cheers matey!
Why did you had to polish the oem bendiz cover? i'm having problems with the starter i tried every thing i could came across.

Start with post #67 and read through the rest of the posts. I tried all of the updates too and nothing worked until this. It seems to have been a problem for quite a few people. Basically there was a batch of bendix covers that got machined improperly and isn?t allowing the bendix shaft to rotate like it should. It?s a very simple fix, the only thing you?ll need to buy is a bendix cover gasket because it might rip when you take the cover off.
This was the reason for my question in this post. Wondering if the as3 cover was machined to the correct tolerance or if it is an exact copy of the covers that don?t fit.
thanks for the info i was starting to suspect that, i did no tsee any reason for the mechanism to not work well, mine looks like it is jaming for some reason.
I will try your solution. cheers.
Hi, i polished the cover and still nothing... i'm starting to give up on this.
The starter does only this: https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=...AD!33560&parId=C72C7A2AABC710AD!29763&o=OneUp
I tested it with another battery, so the problem is not the battery, i did the wire mode, larger wires for positive selenoid and starter negative.
Could it be the starter motor?
cheers.

Pull the starter motor out (2 bolts and its sealed with an O ring) and put your finger in the hole and see how much resistance you feel turning the gear.
Should be next to nothing. Mine had crunchy bearings and the axle shaft was binding. '18 GP300

That sounds like a bad starter motor to me. Sounds like it has a dead spot in the armature or a sticking brush. Have you pulled it apart to have a look? Or just out to make sure the gear the starter engages with spins freely?
Will check if it have resistance, i got the felling that something is binding and blocking the movement.

Hi Eralha,
I had a win fixing the starter system.
Removed bendix & lightened the spring,polished the inside,cleaned & lubed the gears,made sure they were not binding- a little better but inconsistent.
Got a AS3 bendix cover (really nice gear)- when hot worked better.
Pulled the starter apart & checked it was clean & moving freely.
Put in a Shorei 210cca battery & it started easy.Starts hot every time now but I do kick start when cold.
