RE: Tiger Starting problem

[Theo Smit <theo.smit@dynastream.com>]

IIRC the telescoping gear, one-way clutch assembly, and solenoid to
drive it, is usually called the 'Bendix', presumably after the guy that
originally designed/patented it.

On my OEM starter the Bendix drive arm had worn through the piece of
sheetmetal that guides it past the outer case (and incidentally locates
one of the four stator windings). I replaced the whole thing with a
no-name brand gear-reduction mini starter.
