The bug was missing all of its beadings so I replaced all of them with Golf1 beadings.

We were actually experiencing issues with the starter where it would sometimes refuse to start, just click click click.
So after removing the starter countless times and bench testing it on a extra gearbox without any issues I came to the realization that we are experiencing voltage drop from the ignirion wire to the solenoid. Added a relay onto the solenoid wire and the starting issues are a thing of the past
