    Kevin, you don't HAVE to remove the inlet neck but it helps. Mostly you need to make sure the bendix is all the way to the end of the stop while holding your tongue just right. Personally, I remove the inlet neck because my tongue is broke and won't get to that sweet spot. Besides, I have added a bit of tubing to my coolant drain so I can capture all the water I drain out and it only cost me a gasket.

          I've seen some starter drives that have a pin to keep the pinion locked in until the engine fires up and spins the drive fast enough to throw the pin out of the pocket and then spin the drive back out of engagement.
          Is this "modern" Model A drive built this way also?

            Starter Hang Up?
            by Pklarkin
            Hi all,

            The new site looks great! Asking for your help with a sticky issue I've been wrestling with.

            My restoration was coming along well until I tried to crank the new engine for the first time today. I've upgraded to a 12v system and put in the modern Bendix drive on the existing starter. When I try to crank the engine, I get a click and then nothing. The starter seems...

            Stuck Bendix Drive
            by Pklarkin
            Hi all,

            While starting up this morning, the almost-new "modern" Bendix drive jammed. I got the starter off of the engine and there doesn't appear to be any damage to the ring gear or the starter itself. Here's the problem: The drive is stuck in the extended position you see in the picture and I can't compress it to get to the screw to remove it. I tried to use the tool that's...

            Choosing the Correct Bendix
            by Tom Wesenberg
            Check out this ebay listing for 4 Model A starter drives, because not all 4 are for Model A's.
            Model A's need a LEFT HAND helix.

            What's everyone doing for a starter with 12 V? I see Snyder's sells a reduced gear new starter that is a little pricey. Have to install a electric switch to pull in the solenoid....

            Water Pump Rebuild
            by KB9JLO
            Well I'm back. Been busy, scheming and planning. Bought some parts from Bert's. Got a gasket for the valve cover when I check the sludge in there. I took the starter off - it has a new modern bendix on it. To test fire it (I'm converting to 12 volts) I'm going to use the 6V starter as is. I'm going to clean the starter up and paint it. Should I do anything else to it while I have it off?

            Bendix
            by CarlLaFong
            I have a modern Bendix on my car. Today, something went haywire. The starter jammed. I figured I might have busted the spring since the car was converted to 12V. When I removed the starter, I saw that the drive is not the original style. My question is, is the drive supposed to look like this? As you can see, the barrel with the gear comes off of the inner spiral. Seems to me that they should be one...
