SFWIW, back in the days when I designed cranking motors, the field application engineer for Bendix gave me a tip to re-hab "Sticky" Bendix drives. Remove cranking motor from engine and place in a bucket with the Bendix drive down in a bucket. Fill bucket with enough kerosene to cover drive and let soak 2-3 days. Remove from bucket, drain kero, let air dry, then re-install Worked well on truck fleets, not sure about marine which doesn't have the same road dirt problem.
