If you hear the starter motor spinning freely without any load, then the engagement fork (sometimes called the Bendix mechanism) is not functioning, or you have broken teeth on the flywheel right at the starter gear.The starter solenoid does two things: it closes the high-current contacts between the battery cable and the motor, and it pulls on the fork that pushes a small spring-loaded gear into line with the flywheel. To narrow down the problem, first verify that the starter is properly mounted (bolts are not loose, missing or broken). If this is not the issue, then disconnect the ground cable from the battery and remove the starter. Inspect the starter gear and flywheel. If there is no apparent problem, connect the starter wiring (prop up the starter if necessary to avoid strain on the wires, but make sure the prop is sturdy enough to hold against the motor startup torque), reconnect the battery and have someone turn the key to start for a couple of seconds while you watch the starter gear. If it does not slide back and spin, you've found your problem. (You can also take the starter motor to a car parts store and ask them to test tt - this is not as awkward as testing using the vehicle wiring.)
if the starter spins but does not engage flywheel. then its the starter solinoid thats bad. its on top of starter, when key is turned to start, the solinoid is activated, and it pushes the gears out to make contact with flywheel to start vehicle. so the solinoid just spins with out kicking out to flywheel. change solinoid or get another starter. have a good day !
It has a starter clutch on the fly wheel. You will need to remove the left side case cove to access it. You will need to pull the flywheel with a puller as the starter clutch is behind the flywheel
Very unlikely that ring gear has separated from clutch. If this model has clutch dogs on ring gear ( ring gear not permanently fixed to housing) then one or all of the tension springs have weakened and don't allow ring gear to lock in one direction.
