Solenoid is bad or shaft is broken.

These models had a weak starter clutch, specifically a poorly manufactured pressfit bearing in the assembly, you can get one for around 150-200 bucks. I've heard tell of a fix that involves using self tapping screws/rivets/small bolts etc but have not bothered to try this since it's more than worth my while to throw down $150 and save myself several hours of screwing around.

SOURCE: 1999 ttr 250 starter motor is not engaging

I would guess it is the starer clutch, also called the one way clutch. I went on to www.bikebandit.com and looked up your bike and it has a nice exploded veiw of your starter clutch . I will try to put a direct link to it , hopefully it will take you to it. http://www.bikebandit.com/houseofmotorcycles/yamaha-motorcycle-tt250rl-1999/o/m7707
if not go put in your bike and look under starter clutch.

2001 civic 2nd New starter spins does not engage flywheel.

Sounds like the starter drive is not engaging. The starter drive on the starter is not engaging into the flywheel. You would be able to hear the motor on the starter it is just that the drive gear on the end of the starter is not coming out to the flywheel .

I have a 2003 cadillac cts that I "think" may have jumped timing, the starter just spins over fast. Worst case senerio what am I looking at options wise for the car? And does this sound like jumped timing?

If the starter is 'spinning fast' and is NOT turning over the engine, it's possible that the pinion gear is not engaging. When you turn the ignition switch, the starter motor is energized, and the electromagnet inside the body engages. This pushes out a rod to which the pinion gear is attached. The gear meets the flywheel, and the starter turns. This spins the engine over, sucking in air (as well as fuel). At the same time, electricity is sent through the spark plug wires to the plugs, igniting the fuel in the combustion chamber. Is this the symptom your car has? The starter is spinning but the engine is not turning over?

Have a 200cc chinese quad. I think its an air cooled Lifan engine. I can hear starter motor spinning but dosnt turn engine. any advise would be apreciated

Try taking a look at the starter and flywheel while attempting to start the engine. Does the small gear at the end of the starter move forward and engage the flywheel when you try to start the engine? Could it be stuck? The small gear must move forward to engage the flywheel. Keep your fingers away from the moving parts.

Engine starter spins and will not start motor somethines.

Remove the engine cover to expose the starter motor (or take the starter off). Lubricate the starter bendix, its the gear atop the starter motor shaft, use Marvel Mystery oil and then work the bendix a bit and it should fix it. If the teeth on the bendix or flywheel are damaged obviously that is where the problem lies.

Electric Starter spins but does not engage. Could it be the solenoid?

Its likely the starter motor itself having worn teeth or is seized. The solenoid takes the electrical signal and engages the starter which kicks over the flywheel. If the solenoid goes out, you'd hear a click and the starter motor would not spin.

92 honda civic hatchback new starter spins does not engage flywheel, could it be a fuse

unlikely as the motor spins. It appears that the motore solenoid is allowing the motor to spin before engaging the teeth in the ring gear. ON a lot of starters the pivot pin is adjustable to allow for correct engagement.Remove the starter and check that the solenoid is fact connected to the clutch part of the starter. Check that you have the correct starter for the engine

Battery is good but when I turn it on it just clicks won't start,maybe after 20 times it starts

Without hearing the sound it makes - it's kind of hard to diagnose.

The engine starting process consists of turning the key to start, the starter motor's rotor moving forward to engage the engine's flywheel, and then the starter motor 's "rotor" spinning until you move the key from "start" to "run". You can hear the starter motor spinning - but one usually can't hear the rotor moving forward to engage the flywheel. As a result, you hear the odd spinning sound - which is the starter rotor spinning. The engine never actually turns over because the rotor never engages the fly wheel. If this is the case, then it is very likely that your starter needs to be checked and / or replaced.

Good luck!
