Lannis,
Either sticky solenoid or starter button. Rotate starter button and try
it again.

Sometimes it does it on the first try, more often not. First try gives just the non-engaged grinding Jason mentions. Once engaged, it does fine. The starter's just been rebuilt, the solenoid contacts are clean..... Is there some sort of shimming or adjusting that I should do to make engagement more certain? Would I shim a "tilt" into the Bosch starter or would I move it toward the front of the bike (axially with the starter motor) or would I shift it toward the off-side of the bike? Anybody had this issue before and fixed it? '75 Eldo.
