Default Starter Motor Video

Now that i've watched the video it seems like its just spinning free. Idk if it should be making that noise though. Anyone know how to fix it?

Centrifical force should be advancing the starter gear out enough to engage the flywheel. When you quit turning the starter the gear should retract back away from it to allow it to continue turning freely. I'm not seeing the starter advance to engage.

The starter sounds about right from the video, but that's a tricky call.

Pull the starter and see if the gear is traveling freely on the shaft. That's all I can suggest, unfortunately. the shaft has a real slow twist thread to it. That is what the gear runs up to grab the flywheel. There is a spring on the shaft that pushes it back out of the way when you let off the starter switch.

Hope this helps, Ern

update:

In case anyone else runs into this problem turns out the idle gear needed to be pried to the left, idk how it got stuck like that. I was able to accomplish once i took the starter out. Might be able to do this without doing that though, hope this helps.

Also, dont forget to slide the metal guide pin through the hole thats how you know where it aligns up.
