Hi

Sounds like the battery charge may be low and only has enough energy to turn the starter motor slowly, when this happens the starter bendix gear does not engage with the flywheel and all you hear is the starter whizzing /turning.

Hi Lucian,

If the starter motor is turning over but the engine is not, it could be the that the timing belt is broken.
regards.

I only get those numbers from the cylinder head "gas 901" 7450482
