Flywheel doesn't have any broken teeth or bad spots I've already checked that, just looks like normal wear. Checked to see if it could be loose, no its tight. We have shimmed it a number of different times and different ways to no avail as well.

Whats the best way to check the gap between the ring tooth and the starter to shim it properly? These starters don't have a way to manually engage just the solenoid that I can see... do I need to run a wire direct to the solenoid to engage it to check???

I've been doing it by sound and it doesn't matter where it still grinds....
Thanks
