whizzing noise when turning over to start

[keiran]

i get a fast whizzing noise when turning over to start the engine,
it fires and runs fine instantly just this noise, sounds like an electric motor spinning quickly,

[bigdek]

starter is maybe sticking on ?

[keiran]

dunno? it makes the noise while its turning over before it fires
then goes the instant it fires.

fuel pump??

it could be that the solenoid on the starter is not kicking in allowing the starter motor itself to spin freely before engaging with the flywheel and starting the engine.
