so i have got most of the issue figured out but i still have a problem.
i have a good starter, a good connection and it all works when i push the botton, the starter cranks over but its a very nasty grinding noise and it only engages sometimes. all the gears that meet up look fine, all the teeth are good.
what the hell is going on? do the starters have a bearing that could go bad causing it to jump like that?
were do i fix this issue, i looked at the flywheel even and it looks fine no missing teeth. and when it catches it chugs real good like it has good compression. its a freshly rebuilt stock 400 motor with a cam. nothing to it. the starters i have were on running machines when i took them off. im at a loss were to start.
