Lube the bendix shaft. This is a common issue. They get dry and the bendix sticks. I use oil, with no issues, but there are a bunch if guys that think this somehow will cause an issue. Been doing it for 30 years to all these style starters and only ever replaced one. Pretty sure it works. Use dry graphite lube if oil scares you. This isn't an issue that needs 15 posts to solve. Lube it and be happy.
