Could be either a defective starter drive or a broken tooth on flywheel Try turn the engine manually (large socket on crankshaft) to see if it will start- if so problem is a broken tooth - if not problem is probably a bad starter drive. (make sure vehicle is in neutral if std.)

Starter will not engage?
if the starter is spinning but not engaging then the bendix (starter teeth) is not moving out to grab the flywheel teeth or the flywheel has some broken teeth. The starter needs to be removed to see what the issue is.
How do you adjust the flywheel on a 2004 Dodge?
There is not an adjustment on a flywheel. Your problem will most likely be the starter.
What could it be Loud grinding clunky noise when starting?
Defective starter, or a problem with the flywheel. You need to check the starter and then remove it and check the flywheel.
Will repeated failed attempts to start a car result in a flywheel problem?
Not unless there was a problem with the drive gear on the starter that makes contact with the flywheel.
What is the purpose of the overrunning clutch in a starter?
With the flywheel spinning at about 1,000 RPM at idle, the starter, if engaged with the flywheel, would be forced to spin between 15,000 and 20,000 RPM. Once the engine has turned over and is running, the overrun clutch will release the starter from the flywheel and prevent the gears from re-meshing (as in an accidental turning of the ignition key) while the engine is running
Why can i hear my starter spinning and the motor not turn over?
If the starter is spinning but not engaging the flywheel it will not turn the engine over. This is due to the starter drive not engaging properly. The starter could possibly be rebuilt, but it may wind up being cheaper to just replace it with a remanufactured unit from your local parts house.
What causes problems with the fly wheel and starter to reoccur on my 1988 Chevy pickup 1500 since both have been replaced?
is the problem,that the flywheel teeth are being chewed out and same on starter. or is the problem that starter and flywheel do not mesh properly when engaged? if either of thses is the problem,this means that the gear on the starter is not matched to the teeth on the flywheel. other problem that could be causing this is none or incorrect shims used when installing starter motor. to fix this, you need to make a mark on the flywheel(use white out or something like that),and count the number of teeth.then do same on the starter motor.then find out from a drive line specialist,how many teeth shoud be on starter motor to match the flywheel.they can also tell you the shims to be used when installing starter motor to get proper clearance.
What are three tasks which are preformed by the flywheel?
Stores kinetic energy while spinning,Smooths engine performance, Holds ring gear for the starter to engage.
When I try to turn my bike on it wont turn over. All that you hear is the starter spinning. Is it the Starter Clutch that needs to be replaced?
It can be the starter bendix is not engaging the starter gear into the flywheel. It can also be a broken tooth on the flywheel itself. Try pushing the bike and then releasing the clutch. This will turn the engine over just enough to move the flywheel. If it then engages and starts, suspect you have a broken tooth. If that is not the case, then remove the starter and test it by applying 12 volts and see it the bendix kicks the gear out.
Where is the starter at in the 97 Kia Sportage?
All automotive starters are located at the point where the engine block meets the transmission. The gears of the starter must be engaged with the teeth on the flywheel when the starter is turned over, the power of the starter spinning turns the flywheel which moves the crank and thus moves the pistons for ignition. so, to answer this question, look around the bellhouseing of your transmission and you'll spot it.
If your starter periodically spins without engaging the flywheel is it possible that your ignition switch may be faulty?
No. The problem lies in the starter itself. Replace the starter and the vehicle will start....
Why does your car not start only makes a whistle like noise?
If you attempt to start your car and a 'whistle' noise is likely the Bendix on the starter spinning, spinning very fast because it has not come out of the it's housing and meshed with the flywheel gears. "Bendix" is a brand name for the starter drive.
