There are three possibilities here. Faulty starter, unturnable engine, and poor voltage supply to starter.
If you can put a socket wrench on the bolt at the center of the crankshaft pulley
and turn the engine over a little (at least one half turn) it is not an unturnable engine. An unturnable engine can be caused by a seized engine, seized belt-driven component such as AC compressor, fluid in cylinders, or transmission problem.
To test for low voltage at the starter, use a voltmeter. Set the meter to a scale that will read near 10V. Connect one lead to ground (engine block or starter body) and the other lead to the stud of the thick wire connected to the starter. Observe the meter while someone else turns the key. If voltage drops below 10.2V, this is your problem. Check the battery cables and cable connections for burns or looseness. Check for a damaged or discharged battery.
If neither of the above is your problem, replace the starter.

I had a new clutch put in but it keeps getting damaged can you tell me is the is it the flywheel or gearbox also is the flywheel meant to move yes or no?
when you have a clutch put in you also have to replace or remove the flywheel and have it refaced to keep from messing up the new clutch, and yes the flywheel is suspose to turn when the engine is turning, so if the flywheel wasnt replaced or refaced then i would say that the flywheel is what the problem is
How do you slow your industrial sewing machine down on takeoff speed for intricate design stitching?
Aside from not stepping on the pedal hard, you can move the needle one stitch at a time by just turning the flywheel by hand. The Flywheel is the circular thing on the outside right side of the machine. It fits easily in your hand. While you are turning it by hand, you can reposition your fabric and sew your intricate designs.
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
Suzuki lt160 1990 the starter is just free spinning it is not turning the motor over what do you do?
sounds like the ring gear or flywheel is worn if you have a manual or stick shift put it in 2nd gear depress clutch let car roll a little release clutch (the engine will turn slightly) then try starting engine. with auto transmission you will have to turn engine over with socket and ratchet bar (if you cant turn over at the drive belt by hand) if this starts your car the flywheel will need replacing... Could also be the bendix ... the solenoid that engages the starter motor to the flywheel.
Starter makes awful ratcheting sound while trying to start gears are meshing together fine and flywheel is turning did not have this problem prior to changing starter tried many difforent shim combo?
is the head stock on the new starter the same as the old one if not you may want to change the head stocks
1997 Pontiac Bonneville se won't start just has 1 click noticed flywheel not turning?
Well, since the flywheel is bolted to the crank it certainly wouldn't be turning if the engine isn't running. OTOH the flywheel is located between the engine and the transmission/gearbox, so it's very unlikely that you're able to look at the flywheel unless you've done some fairly serious disassembly. Assuming the click is the starter solenoid engaging the immediate suspect is the starter.
Whinning sound when turning steering wheel of a 1999 Pontiac Bonneville?
Classic sign of low steering fluid.
Why does a 2000 Pontiac Bonneville not start in the morning?
low fuel presure. try priming it by turning ignition on and off several times.
What is resisting torque in turning moment of flywheel?
Momentum
What form of energy is stored in s turning flywheel?
kinetic
Flywheel and turning moment diagram?
flywheel is connected to the crank shaft it stores the energy when in excess and deliver when engine req it

How bad is turning the ignition with the car already running?
bad, you can break teeth of of your flywheel or your starter
Where is the fuse box in a 92 Pontiac Bonneville?
One is under the dash, to the left of the steering column. More fuses are on the firewall, just under the hood, behind a cover that goes part-way across. You can remove that cover by turning the plastic nuts holding it in place.
What functions does the flywheel have on the 3.5 hp Briggs and stratton engine?
Pulling the engine's start cord turns the flywheel. The flywheel has a magnet or magnets on it that create electrical charge as the flywheel turns, causing them to pass other magnets. The electrical charge travels to the spark plug and starts the engine. Once the engine is running, the inertia created by the flywheel's turning has enough momentum to keep the engine's crankshaft turning between the piston's power strokes. During operation, the flywheel's magnets also induce voltage in the armature to keep the spark plug firing. Those magnets are called a Magneto ignition.
How do you remove the pulley from an automatic tensioner on a 1998 Pontiac Bonneville?
The bolt has left-hand threads, and requires a lot of torque. Turn counter-clock-wise to loosen/remove the serpentine belt, then use a cheater-bar on your wrench to loosen the pulley-bolt (turning clock-wise).
Why doesn't heating work in 1993 Pontiac Bonneville what are possibilities?
u could have a bad blower moter or a bad fan switch , try turning it on and hit the blower moter with something & it might turn on the one in my truck sometimes doesn't work & i tell my kids to kick it & it starts working.
