one of two possiable causes;;you have answerd your own question?[ one]the starter motor remove, you will find on the end a bendix its round with 6/7/8 teeth on it if all intact.get a lamp and look into the hole the starter came out of. Turn the engine slowly;;at this stage you will see a large gear inside turning the engine make sure all the teeth are on this gear if not sorry this repair will cost you.adrian;;;
