I can here something spinning ,am I missing teeth here, bad solenoid? New starter time? I understand it's a PIA but if I can do door handles/carriers I'm up to it I think. Thanks in advance!
Starter is spinning the bendix that engage the starter to the flywheel is not pushing the gear forward. The solenoid is good or else the starter wouldn't be spinning. Just replace the starter.
