When the starter spins but does not engage the flywheel What is wrong?
When the starter spins but does not engage the flywheel, it typically indicates a problem with the starter solenoid or the starter drive mechanism (often referred to as the Bendix drive).

Additionally, issues with wiring or a weak battery could also prevent proper engagement. It's essential to diagnose these components to determine the exact cause.
