I have a 40' starter, bell housing and 54' (6v) flywheel on a 54' 235cid. I bench tested the starter and it seemed fine. Once mounted it will not turn the motor over. The clutch mechanism seems to be the trouble. the drive gear engages the flywheel fine, but it spins on the shaft of the starter. Can anyone suggest what part or parts may be the issue? Everything else with the starter seems fine. A rebuilt one is a little spendy. So I'm hoping I can just replace a part. ? It is a 6v starter and I was using a 12v battery. I also didn't have the full voltage contact on the side of the stomp switch connected to the coil. I doubt any of that matters, just saying.
