Question My starter on my 1996 FXD all of a sudden just started winding out and will not engage I pulled the starter and the plunger comes out could it be the jack shaft and if it is how do I check to see if its bad, it moves in and out fine? Thanks.
Answer Check the teeth on the gear of the jackshaft and the teeth on the clutch basket to make sure they are not damaged. Check the coupler behind the jackshsft to make sure its not stripped. If it is all good then install the starter and the jackshaft and bump the starter to see if the jackshaft is slidding in and out and let me know
Mike
