i remember on my 71 fx the bendix was one of the first things that hit the garbage.plus
many other problems on my new 71 amf fx

spent the morning digging through my old stuff & found one. hard to find things around my little
house since my 2 adult kids (51&44) moved back. fsg i was hoping you had one so i could come down and
get it. the last time i was headed that, my ship got turned around because the uss pueblo was taken by
north korea. yes i am old. thank you Al

he can,t remember where he got the plates from & he don't have the old clutch.

After finding those things, I would consider checking and cleaning all of the ground connections and then test the solenoid to see if the pull in winding has a complete circuit to the engine case. If that checks out and the solenoid is actually and actively pulling the contact disc in, then the disc may be carboned up from arcing and need to be cleaned or flipped over. The things I mentioned IMO are way more common that an actual starter winding failure. 

If it comes to replacing the starter California Phil got me a great price on a new one. Give him a call.
