First question
25 starter just whirls.?
Like the bendix is not snapping back?
I would usually hit It with my fine adjustment tool
Is this common?
Any suggestions
It started fine yesterday

Guess I could hand crank it...

By Denny Seth - Jefferson, Ohio on Tuesday, May 22, 2018 - 08:53 pm:Sounds like a bad Bendix spring or a broken spring screw. The only way to find out is to remove the Bendix cover but don't loose the cover screws they are a special screw.
6 volt or 12 volt system?

By Ed Archer Hayward, CA. on Thursday, May 24, 2018 - 05:59 pm:I wouldn't hand crank it. There's generally a reason it broke the bendix. KICK!!!

Now you get to be initiated into the wonderful world of working on Model T's by working on the Bendix. Have fun with that! 
By Val Soupios on Friday, May 25, 2018 - 05:51 pm:Andy, just check your timing first and make sure it is retarded just past top dead and crank it. Jack up a rear wheel to make it a bit easier. I never use my starters.
