Starter flywheel is not engaging motor

I jumped a dead battery on a toro lx 425. When I tried to start it while jumping, it would not. Replaced battery, then blown fuse. Starter flywheel does not engage motor now. It wants to turn over but does not engage motor. Blows fuse. Do I need to replace starter assembly or is it something else

If you blew a fuse you could have a grounded wire someplace. Check the wiring on the solinoid, on the battery, on the lights and anyplace there could have been a bear spot rubbed. If the flywheel does not engage check the flywheel gear on the end of the started to see if it is chewed and worn. These can be replaced easily,

1998 jeep grand cherokee starter. Not engaging to flywheel. Works fine when manually jumped from battery.

Sometimes I take the starter motor off the vehicle. Lay it on the ground, hook up jumper cables properly from battery to starter motor, it should do two things, kick out the drive gear and spin. Do you have a flywheel cover that you can remove and watch the starter drive gear engage the flywheel? Also, check the flywheel teeth.

Why won't my c1500 1990 start?

Okay it says you checked starter motor and it tested good. what test did you perform? A bench test would tell you if solenoid is good or bad. Try this With starter in vehicle and key on, jump positive power to solenoid it should spin and engage flywheel and start vehicle

When turn key on starter makes atinney sound does not engage flywheel

if your battery is low on charge or you have to jump it off it may already be engaged and stuck in flywheel try turning motor by hand back and forth listen if you hear it pop out then try to start with good battery if doesnt work replace starter it could be the selinoid switch but you have to pull starter anyway so just replace all of it

I just bought an 89 sidekick and now it wont start, the motor wont even turn over its like the battery is dead but when i jump the starter posts all it does is whine but does not engage the flywheel what...

I would start by ensuring that the battery is fully charged, and that all the battery and starter connections are clean and tight. If the problem persists, the starter solenoid is probably faulty.
