Starter issue
Hey guys back again with my sportster issues. Fix the screw up with the cams thanks to Iron Mick. Now the starter just keeps spinning and this is what I have done,
1. Replaced sileniond and boot
2. new battery and fully charged
3. Replace Bendix
I am getting power to the starter but it just keeps spinning. Any suggustions?

LOL OK Charley maybe I didn't break ot down Barney style. The starter spins but the bendix doesn;t engage, So the starter motor spins.
Mike, I am a novice but took the bendix off replaced it as it came off/ What would be an indicator that the bendix was installed incorrectly?

Similar thing happened to my 96 sportster. Turned out to be the ring gear on the clutch basket. You couldn't turn it by hand, but when I had the primary cover off, you could see that the starter would turn the gear like it's supposed to, but the gear would just spin on the basket. Had a buddy weld it in place and haven't had another problem.
