Hello everyone so I’m working on putting together my build and got to the point where I’m installing the starter and clutch assembly etc.
I got a jack shaft assembly ( V-Factor starter shaft kit- replacement for HD OEM part 31477-93)
When testing it it doesn’t work correctly. (Pictures and vídeo attached)

Anyone has any ideas ?

Do you have the c-clip and spring inside the coupler before the pinion ? Also the long bolt should only be tightened snug, the pinion should be free to move around a bit.
Also try the bench test with a fully charged (12.8v) battery so the pullin coil has enough juice.
Careful putting your fingers near a juiced starter. Seen a guy's thumb go thru a pinion and ring gear doing exactly what you're doing !
