Made sure all connections were tight tried the rapping thing again but no joy. Pulled the starter out and put it in the vice...add power and she spins!
I started tinkering with the screw type starter drive and found the piece on the inside of the spring to be shattered.

NAPA has the springs, so I would think they have the other part as well.
I can order the whole drive assembly form ebay, but I would really like to be able to move the machine today.
The Delco Remy number on the starter is 1107165. NAPA does have a Wilson starter for it, but could not find a part number for the starter drive.
Does anyone know of any part numbers that I can give to NAPA to cross ref?
Thanks!
