would incorrect ignition timing damage starter on Allis B?

ivor from UK here and I have just been talking to someone who is looking for a new starter for his father's Allis B but is having some difficulty so I said I would look into it, when I asked what is the problem he said the drive gear and mechanism is damaged, after he went I thought if ignition timing was too far advanced could that do damage to starter, also are new starters available across the pond thanks in advance
 

The bendix just got old and tired and failed ( teeth or spring)... would have happened anyway after 60 years....... you can buy the bendix on e-bay or other if starter runs OK, but bendix will not spin out.
