BTW it is a new mini starter, the other one i got rid of after giving me so many problems, ended up being a issue with the pinion being bent, which i assume was after all the times the flywheel would backfire!
Base timing being too far advanced will cause a kickback problem that will damage the starters pinion gear/bendix assembly. Get a buddy to sit in the drivers seat with the engine idling in gear and the vacuum line to the distributor removed and plugged and check your base timing. It should be no more than 12 degrees advanced especially if you are running a compression ratio over 10:1 on your engine. Oh and one of your other vids showed a backfire through the carb which is caused by the wrong timing setting.
Good Luck!!
