Starters not engaging flywheel?

What's the trick to get the starter to engage the flywheel? First start this morning, and neither one of my starters will engage on 496HOs.

Thanks in advance!

Tried that. Tried a little WD-40 on the shaft too. (keep your mind out of gutter, KY didn't work either) No luck.

Poker Run this weekend, and luckily I found someone down the street who is installing new starters for me tomorrow.

Thanks John. Austin did call me back. I'd be on my way there if the guys from 20 minutes down the road couldn't get me in. Thanks for the follow up!! I always call you guys first.
