Re: 356 starter not disengaging

The 4052 doesn't use a Bendix gear. I'd first check to see if the springs are retracting the gear as it should (pull the cover off the cylinder mechanism and watch it). I had a problem where the starter (4052) would keep running after the engine started. It turned out to be a short in the wiring from the carburetor starter switch. It doesn't sound like that's your problem.
