    Is this happening while checking compression? The “kick” when it comes off the compression stroke may casing it to disengage. Try it with the plugs in and see if it is ok with a more balanced load on the starter.

    You are right, once the bendix disengages, it will stay disengaged till you turn it off and start cranking again. That’s just the way it works (inertia).
