check the filter is not blocked and the breather for the fuel tank is not blocked.. there is also a small filter in the carb behind were the copper fuel line is bolted in.
This could be cause by a number of things. You could have bad bearings in the starter motor, a bad bearing in the reduction gear housing, a bad Bendix or overrunning clutch, or a bad bearing in the outer primary. Or, you could have a bad starer drive gear or ring gear. There's just no way of knowing for certain until you go into the primary and starter to check it all out.
Disconnect the battery cable and take the outer primary cover off. Inspect the ring gear on the outer clutch drum and the bearing in the outer primary cover. Inspect the teeth on the starter gear to see if they look chewed up. Take the starter shaft out and look at the back end of the shaft to see if the bearing that supports that end of the shaft has went bad. Finally take the starter off and check the bearings in the starter motor. If you disassemble the starter motor, sometimes the brushes can be difficult to get back together. I usually use small 3" or 4" plastic wire ties to hold the brushes back while I reassemble the starter.
