Starter question.

[USCG96gsx]

Was checking out my starter, which spins but I noted the teeth are worn...

The teeth actually look good to me.

It's not engaging when it's mounted though. Like it short

 

[jjsinaz]

Teeth look fine. The teeth are supposed to be beveled on the ends to help it engage the flywheel. Either the one-way clutch (bendix) is slipping or the starter is not developing enough torque to throw the bendix into the flywheel. Check the brushes and armature and replace as necessary.
