One thing to make sure is that the bendix is able to move freely. Take off the starter pinion gear and clean the bendix with card cleaner. Re lubricate with graphite powder. I have had a few of the mercs that were gummed up causing the gear not to jump up even if starter was spinning fast enough.
Long shot but might get lucky. I have had a local old school shop rebuild some for about 100 but it was hard to find them
