Kevin,
 
When I first installed my starter the = starter gear=20 was too tight against the flywheel.  When I energize the starter to = turn=20 the engine and it does not start, the starter gear remain engaged, I = turn the=20 flywheel a bit by hand and it disengage.  If it does not disengage = this way=20 I would say that it is too tight.   Also, when it was too = tight, the=20 starter would not turn fast enough to start the engine -- too much load = on the=20 starter.  I had to file the starter holes a bit to move it away = from the=20 flywheel.  Now it runs fine.
