It's hard to tell, because there is not a good view of the teeth further back to see if they are shiny.
@1795 I think you’re right Here are a couple of better pictures that make it look like the pinion gear was only engaging about half the way with the flywheel. Once I get the new parts, is there an easy was to adjust the engagement depth of the pinion gear?
