I am so sick of this problem and not knowing the cause. Not sure what else to do...

Starter plate? Maybe the on-going Democratic Debate is addling my brain but I'm not sure what that is. $500 sure sounds like a lot of machining.

AKA "block plate."

I had the mounting plate of the Robb MC starter machined to shift the bendix closer. The machine shop moved to too far towards the flywheel so it would not even engage. My plan is now to re-align bellhousing and grind some of the block plate to allow the starter to move closer. I will then re-drill and tap starter bolt holes in bellhousing to lock down the location.
