Mine does that! I thought they all did.
I have replaced the starter motor complete. It was past it's best anyway.
The problem was better, but not totally solved. On the starter that
came out, the cog on the end of the bendix screw was well chewed, I
suspect the teeth on the flywheel are similarly damaged. That is too
big a job to solve a small problem...I just put up with it......use
plenty of choke!
