Sorry to hear, but you are not supposed to break until you GET TO the dunes.  I know you had this issue last year.  But you do have a small/ light weight car; we can always push start you ;D  hope you get it resolved/ know you will!

Cant replace just the Bendix I suppose?  That be too easy.  Best order 2 starters, having a spare best way for not to happen again.
I did that last time ,almost exactly 1 year ago.  :) I have a spare starter sitting here now and I'll have a new $250 bendix sent out Monday. I thought having a spare was supposed to guarantee you never need it. Didn't pan out that way this time though. Dammit!  rofl

this is what i was referring to when i said is the starter up to the task! thats a lot and maybe meant to have a slightly larger flywheel and or a starter made a little stronger? do they sell a bendix made out of 300m as well as a flywheel?  ;D ;D
Yes,the Meziere is well up to the task. It spins this engine over like a worn out ,oil burning,350 stocker.  There is a misalignment or clearance issue IMO. I'll have it out tonight and will be very carefully investigating those probable issues. Honestly ,I "think" I've found the issue but will hopefully know for sure later tonight.

Just add some fuel in the cranking area, maybe pull some timing.. Problem solved!
 ;D ;D
This is definitely a possibility. If I find no mechanical cause I would think this is the area to eff with next. On cold start it starts quite well but when up to temp it is a bit finicky. Haven't really had any time to play with it at all the last few months but I will likely pull 2 degrees cranking and add a bit of cranking fuel to warm engine.

Problem found I'm sure. Education is expensive and this little lesson cost about $1000 total. I'm a smarter moron now.

Ya,I looked back and it was almost exactly this time of year too!  Can't push start a converter car though. I should have it back together unless the converter store drags it's feet getting a new ring gear on it. Considering just doing it myself .It is just a VW ring gear I have found out.  Nonetheless I will be there with blue and quads. I need a break from everything one way or the other.

Never,ever,no way should a person ever think aftermarket cnc parts should be right. As Don Garlits said,"I hate new parts,you have to massage them too much." It should be added that every last detail has to be checked. Take a look at this shit. This thing cost over $600 ,a person should be able to expect more QC.
