Re: starter 79 b
I presume it's from a 1979 B with a pre engaged starter in which case the pinion gear won't spin until the solenoid pulls it forward to engage the starter ring on the flywheel.
It sounds like an inertia starter from your description and if the pinion doesn't spin forwards then the Bendix probably needs cleaning.
Which type of starter motor is it?
