On a side note, the starter worked last time I

That possibly could be just a bit of dirt or "flash rust" from moisture in
the air that has bound up the starter Bendix (assuming original type starter

don't lubricate it once clean (except maybe sparingly with a dry graphite
type of lubricant)! Any oily lubricant will only attract dirt and make it
stick
