The title pretty much says it all. Press the electric start button and the shaft spins but will not engage the motor.

Any thoughts???

Thanks!!

Not sure of how familiar you are with the workings of an electric starter, but it could be a few different things. My first thought would be that the pinion gear isn't moving to allow it to engage the starter ring on the flywheel.

This short video mentions that, and a couple of other potential causes.
