Please do not use sticky grease on a bendix shaft, it will draw dirt and cause problems. If you want to lube the shaft use powdered graphite only.

Other forum with same problem. One comment said adjusting valves can clear up due to not dumping compression. If problem happens again I may try that, with some help. Only happened once but I spen $295 on a starter I didn't need.
