what is happening is the starter drive is coming out the hits the ring gear and gets stuck, but the motor never turns. the engine is just on the engine hoist i did not want to put in until the starter works. if i remove the starter the gear comes out and spins. the teeth dont look like they mesh right?.
i have a 184 tooth flywheel and there is 11 teeth on the starter gear?.
i hope it is not something stupid like not enough juice to spin the tight new engine, but the starter drive gear does not return so i know it is a mesh problem.
