Dave at Voodoo Vintage in Austin found the friction clip on the starter assembly just "popped" off! There was a small piece of rubber wrapped around the starter gear that had come off the spacer between the gear and the spring. (Not a big deal!), but it somehow knocked off the friction clip! Dave managed to re-install the friction clip and now the starter works beautifully! However... :( When he was replacing the clutch assembly, he noticed that the thrust washer and needle bearings were absolutely disintegrated! I was having trouble finding neutral sometimes and maybe that was causing it. He'll install a new $35 coil while he's at it and eliminate one more possible problem with the electrical system.
