In Reply to: Re: JD STX 38 mower - turn key, it clicks but won't start. posted by Jason on Monday, April 14, 2008:
The noise could be a couple of things. Either the pinion is stripped, or the flywheel teeth are stripped, or the worm gear inside the pinion (where it slides up and down to engage)is stripped. basically, if the motor itself spins and has enough grunt, the pinion shouls fly up (very quickly) and engage it's teeth with the flywheel's teeth, and in turn wind over the engine. If it doesn't do this, then the pinion has a problem on the starter motor.
