Your starter comes out so easy on your NA that I'd suggest taking it out and follow Army's exc photo DIY and do a clean and lube yourself. My guess is they forgot to put grease on the solenoid fork and centrifugal clutch spiral gear. The solenoid cylinder should be left dry. I've taken 3 of these apart now and it is very easy. Make sure you use a good impact screw driver (hammer type) on the 3 solenoid screws otherwise you'll be drilling them out
