What makes a Yamaha virago 920 starter kick in and out when starting?

they were horribly designed and when the starter turns it spins another gear that is on this sort of twisted gear. the spinning action of the starter forces the gear to slide forward as it is turning and mesh with the main big gear (whatever its called) that turns the engine. however somebody felt that it wasnt important for the gear to mesh ALL THE WAY and rather it only catches the edge of the gear causing it to shred the heck out of both gears. good news is they are both replaceable with some work and there is a lovely magnet right beside these gears that can catch all the shrapnel hmmmmmmm.... I wonder why it was placed there. anyways my '83 virago does the same thing and i have yet to get it fixed. im gonna try some shim kit that's supposed to allow the gear to slide further and mesh better. just search "virago starter shim kit fix" or something related

Where is the starter solenoid - switch on a Ford Windstar?
After thinking about this a bit it has to be on the starter, which is on the lower left side of the engine. I was trying to confuse this with the starter relay which Ford has long mounted up on the fender and makes things easy to locate starting problems.The solenoid is located inside the starter.
