If you hear noise from the starter like it is spinning, remove the starter. More than likely the starter drive is broken inside. Inspect the teeth on the flywheel ring gear for damage. Replace the starter with a good starter.

I concur. Replace the starter.

I took the starter off and that was the problem but no one side it would be easyer to remove the air box cover and hose from the intake to get to the bolt heads...but after I figerd this out it took no time to reinstall ...thanks
