The builder is chalking this up to a defective drive gear.
But it does end there. I swear I am snake-bit. After putting in the new drive gear, my mechanic installs the starter and when snugging down the main cable from the battery, the plastic cap disintegrates(picture attached). So I bring it back to the rebuilder who informs me that because the newer solenoids all had only 3 posts instead of 4 posts, he used my old cap. Now he has to modify the new cap in order to allow for the 4th post. The whole thing is now back down to the shop and I am waiting for the next minor disaster to take place.
