'11 sonata starter wont engage...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nd_RIDLC1E

My car wouldn't start, diagnosed it was starter not engaging with flywheel.(It spins but doesn't engage). I took apart the starter and found a broken starter lever and bought and replaced it for $14 from my Hyundai dealer.

Once i reinstalled it the car started about 1/3 of the time. I figured it needed additional cleaning & greasing so I took it apart again. The lever is still intact and in place.

I put it back in again and now the starter just spins not engaging the flywheel. I removed it from the engine and took the above video.

any thoughts?

Now you know why we don't bother to try to repair starters. Put a reman in it and be done with it.

Re: '11 sonata starter wont engage...

Someone suggested the starter lever was not the right size because it was shooting forward but not all the way.

I found out when I rebuilt it I didn't put in the lever stop(thought it was a piece of the broken starter lever)

Put in the lever stop and it worked.
