I have the same problem on a ski and I replaced the bendix only to have it spin in place and not kick out at all.The spring I refer to is on the bendix.Going to recheck cables , battery state of charge,amp draw test and then replace starter.

I keep all the old bendix's around, they are fairly simple, if you depress the front bearing collar there is a circlip, remove that and the bendix comes apart, if the one way clutch part of the bendix is still good, after a through cleaning , greasing and reassembly they usually work, if the spring on the back that holds the weights is toast a substitute can usually be gotten off of an old crankshaft seal,usually I will take two or three apart and make one usable bendix out of them.

careful with the grease, too heavy and it will slow it down enough it wont work.

What I use is actually an assembly lube, it probably breaks down to a liquid after it gets hot, ATF works very well for lubing up the Bendix also.I leave a few of them soaking in a cut off soda can full of ATF till I get ready to rebuild them.

Did you fix it ? with more inspection on the ski I'm working on I came to the conclusion that the Bushings in the case and in stator cover are worn out allowing the bendix to move away from flywheel instead of staying in a straight line.
Yep, sorry meant to update but I've been slammed with work. I ordered another bendix from jetmaniac and it solved my problem. Starts all day now, no slipping.
