Default will not start




1968flh, stock. Starter drive gear just spins. Installed one 500 miles ago. Have cover off and can hold drive in. Fingers pulling gear in, but does not seem to engage all the way. First elec. start. I've always heard that bindix are known for going out? Any spacing or adjustment?
