[THEFERMANATOR]

The starter should have some resistance when turning by hand from the armeture passing by the magnets. How fast does it spin up when you try to start it? And grease on the bendix like that can cause starter problems. It may not look like it, but there is a rubber clutch disc inside of that gold part with the teeth that contact the flywheel. If grease gets in there it won't turn the engine over because there won't be enough friction to engage it.
