Title: Bendix
Post by: jesseg010 on June 13, 2017, 07:43:55 PM

Bike was running fine last season. Now the bendix seams to not turn the flywheel. Any idea?

Test battery cranking volts (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bw3ikMEGh74&feature=youtu.be&t=2m6s).

Yup got it.
On the charger now.
It does seem like there isn't enough power there.
But I don't know I've never had this trouble before.

Hmm all seems like it's hard to turn over even with enough cranking amps? I can hear it engaging and trying to turn the flywheel but doesn't

If you can, do the test Tortoise recommended. More than likely your battery is bad.

There's 2 types of bendix assemblies, one which works and the other which doesn't (sounds like a dead battery).  The one which works has a tiny thrust bearing at the small end (which fits the hole in the cover).  Both units have the same dimensions. There's not a lot of information on this part, and I figured it out by accident.  Still not sure who makes the good units vs who makes the duff units. From a foot away, they look identical, but they're not.
