I am sort of stumped on my 1948 cub 6 volt starter. The starter turns over great if there is no spark (disconnected plug wires or the gas shut off) but as soon as it fires one time the bendix disengages and the starter continues to run disengaged. If I let the start rod in and try it again it engages fine until it tries to fire again. It runs great once it is started or if I pull start it but is really hard to get running sometimes the way this starter is disengaging. I did replace the bendix with a new one and no difference. what do you think?

There is a replacement clutch type starter drive that replaces the original inertia style drive. IH and other suppliers have them. This sight has them I believe in the Tractor parts Store. JimN
The starter is functioning properly. It's your engine that's got a problem.
That starter is designed to pop out of gear the second the engine fires. The key is that the engine should be firing more than once. Once one cylinder fires, they should all start firing. Since only one cylinder fires, my humble opinion is that you've got a tuneup, timing adjustment, or carburetor adjustment to make.
