I know whats happened Cajun. Inside the housing, below the spring is a flat washer which has probably fallen out of alignment. If you remove the starter and remove the centre bolt while holding it together with your other hand, give it a shake and look down the hole at the same time to see if the washer is flopping around in there. It’s easy for it to be misaligned if the centre bolt has been removed. When removing these starters, thread a 3/8 coarse nut up the bottom of the bolt to keep everything together until you are ready to reinstall it. It will save lots of grief later having to deal with that washer.
This starter is off a 9.9 isn’t it?
