its called the bendix spinning.. if it was my solenoid then it would click due to not getting power.. but the spinning is it not engading to the flywheel.. i thought... fly wheel looks good with teeth and everything. just need to return the faulty starter and use the warranty to get a new one.. its amazing what a little research can do for you... also the power of google.. hehe

I'm glad you finally found it. The frustration level must have been reaching epic proportions.
